Located just two hours north from Sydney. The Hunter Valley was such a nice place to visit where groups of friends can pay for reasonable prices in exchange for good wines and cheeses while enjoying the gorgeous view of nature. The staffs at the wineries were so friendly and we could tell they actually love their job. Best time to visit: March to May Personal pick: Semillon #境外遊#MyTripVlog #awesomepic #winetasting #vineyard #wine #winery #australia #sydney

#summervacay A summer trip to the Hunter Valley is paradise for wine lovers like me. I joined a small tasting tour and visited a few family-owned vineyards—the Semillon and Shiraz were outstanding. The scenery was all rolling hills and green vines under clear blue skies. I also stopped at a cheese shop and a chocolate factory (no regrets!). It’s peaceful, scenic, and a total treat. Whether you’re sipping or just soaking in the views, Hunter Valley is a dream.

Located two hours north of Sydney, Hunter Valley is Australia’s oldest and one of its most renowned wine regions. Known for its stunning landscapes, world-class wineries, and vibrant culinary scene, it’s the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway and a delightful wine-tasting experience. Hunter Valley is famous for its Semillon and Shiraz 🍇 , but the region also produces a variety of other wines, including Chardonnay and Verdelho. With over 150 wineries, there’s something to suit every palate. Many vineyards offer guided tours where you can learn about the winemaking process, visit the vineyard and try a range of different wines. When I visited Hunter Valley in January this year, I joined a small local with a very knowledgeable guide that drove us from Sydney city center all the way to Hunter Valley. We visited three local boutique wineries, and they are mostly family owned: 1️⃣ Hanging Tree Wines 2️⃣ Earnest Hill Wines, and 3️⃣ Saddler’s Creek Wines. We were really lucky as we also manage to see some Kangaroos during our visit. I would recommend joining a wine tour to explore the region without the hassle of driving. Hunter Valley is a wine lover’s dream, offering a perfect blend of exquisite wines, gourmet food, and breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a casual enthusiast, a visit to this iconic wine region promises unforgettable experiences and delightful memories. Cheers to discovering the flavors of Hunter Valley! #australia #sydney #travel #couplestrip #wine #huntervalley #winery #vineyard

Since it was my first time, the whole trip was very exciting and enjoyable. Although we had to get up very early (4 AM), it was good that we stayed in Hunter Valley the night before, so we didn't have to wake up even earlier. The preparation took longer than expected, and unfortunately, we couldn't ascend in time to see the sunrise. Although it wasn't a sunny day, at least it didn't rain, allowing us to take off smoothly (it had been raining for the past few days). At the end, we had a delicious breakfast to enjoy. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Hunter Valley～

Hunter Valley is the backyard of Sydney. A two-hour drive will take you to one of Australia's most historic wine regions. Whether it's wine tasting, hot air ballooning, or playing a round of golf, it has everything Sydney people want. After enjoying the beauty of Sydney, we chose Hunter Valley between Hunter Valley and Blue Mountains. Heading north, we felt the greenery and fresh air as soon as we left the highway. Hunter Valley has over 120 wineries, and due to time constraints, we only went to one winery, Audrey Wilkinson Winery. It is said to be the easiest winery for newcomers. Wine tasting starts at 10 Australian dollars, and if you buy a bottle, one person's wine tasting fee can be waived. Once there, I understood its benefits. The winery is built on a hilltop, overlooking the surrounding scenery. I don't know why, but the vineyard-covered hills always have a feeling of oil painting, green with a hint of gray, a bit high-end. Looking at the vineyard, the grapes used for winemaking are quite different from the grapes we eat as fruit. They are a bit small, reportedly not sweet, but only such grapes make good wine. We bought a bottle of Shiraz red wine🍷 at the winery, 47 Australian dollars, and it tasted pretty good. Other popular wineries include BrokenWood, Tyrrell's Wines, Petersons Champagne House, et

#Australia Must-visit Check-in Spots In addition to being the most historic and largest wine-making region in Australia, Brokenwood Wines was founded in 1970 and is one of Australia's most famous premium wine brands. It is also a must-visit place in the Hunter Valley! Brokenwood has always been listed as a five-star winery. Every time you arrive at a winery, you will be led to the bar by the receptionist, who will then provide a list of the wines available in the winery, usually with 5 to 10 items (depending on the size of the winery). After you sit down, they will open the bottles for you to taste one by one. While tasting, the tour guide will introduce the special features of this bottle of wine (brewing method, flavor or special features). If you like it and want to buy it, just mark it on the wine list.

Cafe Enzo @Hunters Valley The coffee is great! The Chai tea is also delicious!
