The rural locality of Pokolbin sits in the shadow of the Brokenback Range and is considered to be the ''hub'' of the Hunter Valley wine region and where the largest collec on of wineries, accommoda on houses and restaurants can be found. Pokolbin is interna onally recognised for being Australia's oldest commercial wine producing area and where vi culture (growing of grapes) in the Hunter Valley is believed to have first started when James Busby brought planted cu ngs of European vines and established what is considered the first vineyard in the area in the 1830's. However, it was not really un l the 1960s that the wine industry of the Lower Hunter Valley really took off due to the closure of local mining opera ons and the arrival of European immigrants a er the Second World War led to a reorienta on of Australian tastes. By the 1980s the wine industry had replaced the mining industry as the centerpiece of the local economy. There are now numerous wineries, restaurants, cafes and gourmet food providers in the Pokolbin area, including some of the best known names in Australian wine - some of which have been in existence for well over a century. The majority offer tas ng facili es and cellar door sales, and some of the larger enterprises provide addi onal facili es such as func on rooms, restaurants, barbecue and picnic facili es.
