Synonymous with some of Australia’s finest wines, the gorgeous Lower and Upper Hunter Valleys are home to nearly a hundred refreshingly unpretentious wineries. Just two hours drive from Sydney, this is where the wine growing culture is so ingrained that even the local jail and high school have their own vineyards. The main area is Pokolbin, an area packed with boutique wineries, fine accommodation, beautifully landscaped gardens and great restaurants, all waiting to be explored by horse-drawn carriage, car, bicycle or even hot-air balloon.
