Hunter Valley
As harvest season unfolds in the northern hemisphere, spring is in full swing Down Under – marking the start of a new winemaking season in these spectacular rolling vineyards just two-hours north of Sydney, Australia. Thriving with first-rate vintages and over 100 wineries, this South Wales valley offers an incredible variety of shops and restaurants, many of them overlooking verdant vineyards, to make it one of the most attractive and visited wine regions in Australia. Many tours depart from Sydney and include horse-drawn carriage rides, boutique wine tastings, and a picnic lunch, making for the perfect country interlude after an urban escape. You can also sample local cheeses churned out by valley cheese makers and frothier beverages, like popular ginger beer, also produced by local breweries.
