WHAT’S ON IN THE HUNTER VALLEY
The Hunter Valley is not just about food and wine. Treat yourself to a day at the wonderful Hunter Valley Gardens or visit the many galleries and speciality shops in the area. For all those foodies out there you will find a great choice of places specialising in olives, olive oil, chocolate, cheese, lollies and even some great breweries. For those adrenalin seekers why not take a plane, helicopter or a hot air balloon ride? There is horse riding for the horse lovers; the cyclists can hire bicycles and take their own tour around the wineries; and for the experienced or beginner golfers, the Hunter has four amazing golf courses to enjoy. We haven’t forgotten about the kids – take them to the Hunter Valley Zoo or for a fun game of aqua golf.
If you are visiting the Hunter Valley to play our magnificent golf courses, why not also enjoy a hot air ballooning experience, or maybe a spectacular helicopter ride over the vineyards, or perhaps visit our fabulous cellar doors, breweries, and award-winning restaurants and cafes. Hunter Valley Holiday Homes will make your visit one you will never forget!
