Cheese making, picnics, chocolate, long lunches and delectable wines are among the offerings at the new-look D’Vine Long Weekend Event in the Hunter Valley this September.
The three-day event is the brainchild of Around Hermitage Association (AHA).
Taking place on the October Long Weekend (Saturday 30 September to Monday 2 October), D’Vine is an enhanced version of the Around Hermitage Wine and Food Trail.
The event will feature a hand-picked selection of curated experiences, events and adventures held across 14 Hunter Valley host venues.
“We’ve worked hard to design a mix of experiences and events that have not been offered in the Hunter Valley before,” says AHA president Mark Neely.
“From mozzarella making classes, ploughmen’s picnics, chocolate escape rooms, a street paws festival to a kings’ feast and roaming progressive lunch.
“During the D’Vine Long Weekend there really is something for everyone.”
While guests are being invited to try wine and food tasting at any number of the 14 participating vineyards, hop-on, hop-off shuttles will be offering transportation between venues.
Event organisers say visitors will “discover incredible food and dining experiences, engage in unique activities, and meet the passionate makers behind some of the area’s most exceptional boutique wines”.
Hunter Valley addresses included in the 2023 list include Yellow Billy Restaurant, East Coast Experiences, Classes in the Kitchen, and Hunter Valley Horses.
Wineries feature Peter Drayton Wines, Sutton Estate, Tintilla Estate Wines, De Iuliis Wines, Oakdale Wines, Glandore Estate Wines, Keith Tulloch Wines, and Misty Glen Wines.
Tickets are available for purchase through the official D’Vine Long Weekend website.
