What areas produce the best red wines? How long should I store my wine? What's the deal with the new plastic seals? How is sparkling wine made? These and other questions can be answered in a day tour to the Hunter Valley.
Home to some of the best wines in the world, the Hunter Valley is only two hours drive north of Sydney and a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And it's not only the wines it is famous for - there are fine restaurants, arts and crafts, festivals of music or maybe ambling along on a horse-drawn cart is more your scene.
