ABOUT HUNTER VALLEY

Home to Australia's oldest wine region, the Hunter begins two hours' drive north of Sydney and is easily reached by car, bus, train or air. You can also board a riverboat in Newcastle on the NSW North Coast and travel along the beautiful Hunter River to delightful historic towns in wine country.

The Hunter region encompasses charming towns and villages, rolling vineyards and olive groves, and splendid national parks of the Hunter Valley, the Upper Hunter and Barrington Tops. You'll taste some of the world's best wines at cellar doors, including the acclaimed Hunter Valley Semillon.

Spring is a particularly picturesque time in the area with winemakers excited about the year's budburst. This is when the vines spring to life with delicate light green foliage and the hills and pastures are a lush green. Flowers bloom everywhere.
