HERE’S TO YOU TIME L

iving the good life – for some it’s fame and fortune, but for most of us it’s enjoying time spent with loved

ones discovering and sharing in the simple pleasures of life. Here in the Hunter Valley, we’re a fun-loving bunch driven by our desire to have – and show visitors – a good time. Whether you’re after the simple pleasure of a quiet country escape with delectable wine and food or are seeking a shameless splurge of bucket list experiences, we’ve got you covered.

TOP 10 WAYS TO EXPERIENCE THE HUNTER VALLEY.

WOW- FACTOR WINE – Since ancient Greece, wine has been associated with all the good things life has

to offer. There are no shortages of experiences in the Hunter Valley, taking you up close and personal with our wines. Take a peek behind the scenes on a winery tour, learn more about your favourite variety in a wine masterclass, get down and dirty on a vineyard tour or simply sample a cellar door or three across our wine trails.

F LAVOURSOME FOOD – Alongside our divine dining establishments, we have a smorgasbord

of epicurean experiences. You can book in for a handson cooking class, learn how to make cheese from an artisan cheesemaker, take a tour of a sustainable kitchen garden and enjoy the delights of a chocolate tasting.

E NERGETIC EXPLOITS – Everyone knows that to enjoy a healthier, happier life you need to live an

active life and we’re lucky to have plenty of ways to keep fit. Tee off on one of our championship golf courses, take a hike up to Mount Bright Lookout or Bimbadeen Lookout and along the Great North Trail, go boating on Lake St Clair or go for a spin along the 10km Hermitage Road cycleway.

Awarded by the world’s top wine judges and enjoyed by wine lovers across the world, our iconic Semillon is the world’s best. There’s no denying our highly prized old-vine Shiraz has set an enduring benchmark for quality Australian wines and we lay claim to being the birthplace of classy Chardonnay. The trailblazer of Australia’s grape growing and winemaking industry for almost 200 years, Hunter Valley Wine Country has cultivated its own, distinctive pedigree of hand-crafted wine styles, and thanks to the rise of a dynamic new generation of producers, the region’s heart continues to beat for adventurous winemaking that inspires and delights.

Local vineyards tend to be small to medium producers, so when you can’t decide what you like most about a wine, you’ll have the opportunity to ask the winemaker first-hand, at many of the cellar doors. Is a wild yeast ferment the secret to that Chardonnay you’re crazy about? Is that French or American oak tickling your palate? Has a particular patch of soil had a bearing on the heavenly aroma emanating from that glass you’re swirling? Expect to feel inspired by wonderfully individual winemaking methods and our absolute passion for provenance.

HERE’S TO MORE THAN A WEEKEND

icture yourself relaxed and of good cheer, living the Hunter Valley good life to the full. Even a

short stay will quickly have you feeling revitalised and right at home in the vineyard landscape. Whether you’re visiting for work, pleasure, or hoping to strike an ideal balance between the two, you can afford to be selective about what you want to experience, with so many wonderful accommodation options to choose from. Imagine waking to an oasis of calm, and wild kangaroos, at your cosy cottage in the vines, or cracking a bottle of Semillon at a secluded wilderness cabin, high on the escarpment with a birds eye view of the valley. Maybe you’re more inclined to book a contemporary country home with all the creature comforts, and feel your shoulders relax with that first slurp of Shiraz grown on the private wine estate you’re staying on.

WINECOUNTRY.COM.AU

Perhaps you’re set on spoiling yourself with some mid-week pampering at a luxury spa resort, or treating someone to a romantic retreat, where there’s some local sparkling on ice and an open log fire. Are you angling to get out of town for a five star golfing getaway? Or thinking about shaking up your conferencing with greater destination appeal? If arriving in style is important to you, private helicopter charters and limousine transfers can easily be found. Wherever you stay, you’ll be surrounded by award winning cellar doors, extraordinary restaurants, vibrant cafés and brilliant craft breweries. Expect to be lavished with hospitality, because it’s what the Hunter Valley does best.

SEMILLON The Hunter Valley sets the world benchmark for Semillon, and it is, both nationally and internationally, the most highly awarded variety produced in the region. In its youth, it is zesty, bright with lemon/ lime aromas and flavours, and has a delicate acidity to finish – perfect for fresh seafood. Those who are prepared to wait are rewarded with complexity – biscuit, malt, honey and toasty richness. CHARDONNAY Typically medium to full-bodied in style, Hunter Valley Chardonnay is characterised by peach, fig and tropical fruit-like flavours with crisp and fresh unwooded styles, and full-bodied, rich and fulfilling wooded styles. VERDELHO A style unique to the Hunter Valley, Verdelho, customarily made without oak, is a fruit-driven medium-bodied wine. SHIRAZ Shiraz is undoubtedly the most important red variety in the Hunter Valley. Regionally distinctive, it is medium to fullbodied, characterised when young by blackberry, mulberry and plum characters, as well as spice, chocolate and liquorice with the characteristic regional earthy, leathery tones and complexity developing with age. OTHER VARIETALS Our hero wine icons – Semillon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Verdelho are supported by up and coming European varieties such as Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Barbera, Montepulciano, Fiano and Vermentino which are thriving in the Hunter climate. A number of specialty wines, including organic, sparkling, fortified and dessert wines, are also produced. No matter what your preference, you’ll always find a style to share and enjoy in the Hunter Valley.
