Commemorating its 50th milestone, the CCL Hunter Valley Wine Show’s week of celebrations kicked off on Monday 15th August with wine show judging at Singleton Lone Pine Barracks and concluded with an industry celebration at Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley on Friday 19th August. The luncheon was attended by over 350 industry professionals to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the Hunter Valley wine industry.
For many pet owners, the hardest part about travelling is leaving our four-legged companions behind. Luckily for us, most venues in the Hunter Valley are in the same boat – pooches are part of the family and in many cases, staff rosters as well. You’ll find that many wineries and even restaurants will have a resident fury friend on-site, in charge of the hellos and goodbyes.
The Hunter Valley is home to some of the nation’s top names in wine, but sometimes it’s quintessential to explore the off-beaten track and discover the many hidden gem wineries the region has to offer. Often family-owned and operated, these wineries tend to offer the ‘open doors to our home’ hospitality experience you may not find at some of the bigger names, with intimate tasting experiences and limited-release drops not easily found outside of the cellar door or region.
Treat yourself in Hunter Valley Wine Country and indulge in all things sweet and dangerous. From exquisite, hand crafted bon bons, mouth-watering hot chocolates and gourmet gelatos, the Hunter Valley offers a range of unique sweet treats for sweet tooth's of all kinds. Even the non-sweet tooth's will find something they'll enjoy.
The Hunter Valley is renowned for producing world class Shiraz and stylistically it’s in a world of its own. The region’s signature red variety generates a great deal of intrigue, consistently tops wine columns and shapes out wine shows and guides and has firmly secured the Hunter Valley’s position as one of the great Shiraz producing regions of the world.
Are you seeking a relaxing, intimate getaway without the crowds or common areas that can be found at hotels? Does the idea of retro board games fireside with a glass of red in hand appeal to you? Or how about unwinding in your own private hot spa, set on an impressive, private acreage with rolling hill views?
