If you’re coming to Hunter Valley in New South Wales, there’s a good chance you already know about the wine. This is, after all, wine country! Of course, there’s more to the region than just wine – there’s also cheese to taste along with your wine, and food to go with both!

Since you’ll need things to do between tastings, the area is also home to a wide variety of natural attractions, historical areas, and cultural experiences. It also includes some of the most wonderful flora and fauna in the world, and plenty of arranged tours to help you take it all in. You can even hop in a balloon and take an aerial tour of the region to really gain a new perspective on things.

As a top ten tourist destination in Australia, Hunter Valley has everything you need to fill several weeks’ worth of vacation time. There always seems to be some event or festival going on in one of the many towns of the valley, and more outdoor and indoor activities than you can possibly hope to experience in a single stay.

When you’re in New South Wales, be sure to venture into Hunter Valley to experience all that this vibrant area has to offer!
