Explore Broke Fordwich, your way

Take the trail less travelled to a tranquil hideaway

From the historic to bucolic and the gastronomic, Broke Fordwich has it all.

Rich in natural beauty, this striking region is bordered by National Parks, the meandering Wollombi Brook and awe-inspiring Brokenback mountain range. This ancient land has been home to the Wannaruah People for millennia and the surrounding rock caves are rich in Aboriginal art including the heritage listed Baiame Cave paintings.

Explore the Wine Trail and meet the makers and locals. Unearth original art in our galleries and savour hand made products.

Book a tour for an authentic, personalised wine and food experience or create your own journey of discovery via nature trails, horse riding, and bush walks to get up close with local flora and fauna.

Meander through groves and sample fresh pressed oils and farm fresh olives. Explore the valley in a hot air balloon or drop in for lunch via helicopter.

Relax and unwind in the peace of our landscape enjoying expansive views from every angle. The kids will love the new playground and skate park, but you may prefer to unwind with a massage, spa bath or yoga class. Or ‘salute the sun’ your own way with a glass of local wine at sunset.

Be as active or as laid back as you choose.
