Hunter Valley Visitors Guide 2013

DEEPLY FASCINATING WITH RICH OVERTONES OF ENJOYMENT, AND A LONG, MEMORABLE FINISH.

Located just 160 km to the north of Sydney, the Hunter Valley is nestled in the lee of the Great Dividing Range, the majestic Brokenback Range. This forms the perfect foil to the soft folds of a gently undulating valley floor. Cool ocean breezes produce Mediterranean-like temperatures, perfect for winemaking, while the range provides shelter from the harshest elements.

180 years young, Australia’s oldest and best-known wine region is soaked in history but is certainly not a museum piece. It’s a dynamic and fascinating area that brims with over 150 top-class wineries, 65 indulgent restaurants and 180 places to stay as well as gourmet produce, boutique breweries, special experiences and friendly local communities. The Hunter Valley is like a sip of its finest wine: refined and elegant, with depth, balance, vibrancy and longevity. Its flavours range from simple sophistication to deep complexity, with an innate style and substance in every drop.
