The Hunter Valley – Australia’s oldest wine region – is fast becoming one of its most interesting. Alongside icons like Tyrrell’s Vat 1 and Lake’s Folly Cabernets, there’s a bunch of young guns doing some very exciting things with food and wine.

Per person price includes:

• Accommodation twin-share in spacious, newly-renovated rooms at Hermitage Lodge in the heart of Pokolbin, including breakfast;
• Meals: 2 x lunches and 2 x dinners with premium wines in some of the Hunter Valley’s best restaurants, including two-hatted Muse and a vineyard picnic of local artisanal produce;
• Winery visits & tastings: 4 x behind-the-scenes wine tastings, meet the winemakers and vignerons making some of the Hunter Valley’s most exciting wines; taste from barrel, tour vineyards and learn about the iconic and new grape varieties being grown;
• Transport by luxury mini-van: once you arrive at our accommodation you won’t need to think about a thing until it’s time to go home;
• PLUS, if you’d like to make it a long weekend, I’ve negotiated a special rate of $199/room (inc. breakfast) for an optional Sunday night stay.
• Single supplement for the 2-night weekend: $349
