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, whilst here, not to broaden the palate with some excellent 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.auMy wine glass runneth over at Hanging Tree WineryStill loyal to a good shiraz at Broke Mt winery. That’s the view in the feature photoAudrey Wilkinson – best views in the HunterYou can go anywhere when you’re not in a hurry – road to Audrey WilkinsonNeed to be a bit shouty about this winery and its pinot shirazSemillon is coming up trumps at Oakvale WineryEnd of a long and fruitful tastingWould be nice to get married in a vineyard. This is Petersens Winery chapel.Love at first bite – Binnorie Dairy – their cheese is excellent
Was a good time and my fledgling 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.
Have you purchased a trailer to attach to your camper trailer to transport wine purchase back home ??? And I look forward to sharing a white wind with you in June now that your a convert 🙊
I was drinking out of Hanging Tree Winery glasses only last night. My daughter had her wedding there. Ot’s a firm favourite.

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!
