The Hunter Valley has all you need for a weekend among the vineyards.
And, Hermitage Road is home to some of the most awarded regional wines.
The iconic location boasts amazing tours on offer with scenery that provides a stunning backdrop for your stay.
Book a private villa at the award-winning Château Élan in the heart of the Hunter and start your day at their breakfast buffet before enjoying a mid-morning spa treatment.
Cycling is also a great way to explore the area, with a dedicated cycleway along Hermitage Road.
Enjoy the views of the valley and some must-have wine tastings along the way.
Alternatively, take the relaxed approach and drive yourself.
From Château Élan, head to Degen Estate in Pokolbin before stopping at Tulloch Wines for some lunchtime tastings.
Warm up in the Autumn sun and savour five-star wines at the family-run venues.
Then, spend the rest of your afternoon at Latitude 32 Wines and book their much-loved Picnic in the Vines.
While there, jump into their guided wine tasting at the cellar door before relishing a gourmet hamper among the vineyards.
But, don’t head back to your accommodation without a detour to the Hunter Valley Gardens.
That is a must.
Walk through the picturesque gardens, taking in the crisp Autumn evening and the flavours of the day.
