This is Australia: Hunter Valley NSW

Australia’s oldest wine region, the Hunter Valley lived up to its excellent reputation when we visited for 4 enjoyable days. Autumn blue skies and crisp nights were perfect accompaniments to some fabulous reds and whites.

Friends know it’s reds that I’m partial to and I can often be relied upon to exit a winery with a few good bottles. But, it would be a diabolical sin not to broaden the palate with some excellent Hunter Valley Semillon and Verdalho.

Without further adieu, I give you these wineries.

Kelman Wines – such fabulous service and great wines that I walked out with a mix of whites, reds and a most interesting muscat. https://www.kelmanvineyard.com.au

Kelman Wines – worth checking out their very appealing vineyard housing lifestyle where you can buy a house in the vineyard. A weekender?

Hunter Valley country roads lead to wonderful wineries

Expect to walk out wobbly after a visit here.

My wine glass runneth over at Hanging Tree Winery

Never had a better fit than at Broke Mt Winery. A cracking effort by the French staff.

Still loyal to a good shiraz at Broke Mt winery

Audrey Wilkinson – best views in the Hunter

You can go anywhere when you’re not in a hurry – road to Audrey Wilkinson

Need to be a bit shouty about this winery and its pinot shiraz

I’m reading the room here at Oakvale Wines and semillon is coming up trumps

Nice to get married in a vineyard. This is Petersens Winery chapel.

Love at first taste- Binnorie Dairy – their cheese is excellent

Was a good time. My wine cellar will thank me.

Where we stayed: We parked our camper trailer at Wine Country Tourist Park with its friendly staff, clean amenities, camp kitchen with fire and within easy reach of wineries.

I’ll have to drink warm reds in June! The wine is stashed in the car and the driver is complaining that the car’s sitting a bit low!
