Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s best known and historically important wine regions. If you are a wine connoisseur then most likely Hunter Valley would be on your list of places to visit. This is a premier wine region of New South Wales, unofficially divided into the Upper and Lower Hunter Valley. The greatest concentration of vineyards is in Lower Hunter, between Cessnock and Branxton. Australia has the oldest shiraz wines in the world (dating back to 1842 in Barossa Valley and 1867 in the Hunter Valley), the oldest pinot noir and pinot meunier (1866), the oldest cabernet sauvignon (1880), and possibly the oldest Semillon and chardonnay (1908) as well.
To some extent, its history began because of its convenient location with close proximity to NSW’s large population centers that created a ready market. Our first wine entrepreneurs seized this opportunity - pioneers such as James Busby, who along with his brother-in-law, William Kelman planted the first vineyards in 1830. In that same year, George Wyndham arrived and planted cuttings and by 1832 there were ten small vineyards in existence: the Hunter Valley’s wine industry was up and running.
Hunter Valley Gardens - Pokolbin
Set in the historic district of Pokolbin, Hunter Valley Gardens is nestled amongst the foothills of the Brokenback Ranges in the heart of the Hunter vineyards. 60 acres of magnificent gardens, with 10 theme gardens; Formal, Indian Mosaic, Rose, Italian Grotto with the statue of St Francis of Assisi (patron saint of birds and animals), Border Garden, waterfall in the Sunken Garden, the elegant Oriental Garden and the kids favourite, the Storybook Garden. 60 acres, amidst superb gardens and aged vineyards, the Hunter Valley Gardens village offers award-winning restaurants, an Irish Pub, Roche Wines and a boutique shopping experience.
