The Lower Hunter Valley, only a short three-hour
drive north of Sydney is arguably Australia ’s best-known wine region. The
region enjoys a warm to hot sub-tropical climate not normally suited to
producing quality table wine - cooling afternoon sea breezes are the region ’s saviour. Originally making its name for long-living Chardonnay, Semillon and
Shiraz, the Hunter Valley also produces a substantial amount of the trendier
Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc varieties. Many boutique wineries, trendy
restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and art and craft shops have sprung up over
the last ten years, catering for the many tourists and Sydney wine lovers who
venture north to this picturesque area.
