Australia’s oldest wine area, Hunter Valley, offers robust reds and crisp whites.

Australia’s oldest wine area, Hunter Valley, has 150 wineries, as well as award-winning dining establishments and stunning lodging. The Hunter Valley is now the largest wine area in New South Wales, having had its first grape vines planted there in the 1820s on its rich soil. As the quintessential Hunter Valley white, semillon is distinguished by its typical white profile, which combines sharp acidity, apple and citrus aromas, and strong yet refined flavors. The area is also well-known for its powerful and bold Shiraz, which is made from some of the oldest vines on the planet.

Save the date for Saturday, July 13, 2024, the 12th annual Hunter Valley Wine & Beer Festival, which will take place on the grounds of the charming Rydges Resort Hunter Valley.
