Today, the Hunter Valley is internationally recognised for being one of the most prosperous and iconic winemaking regions in Australia. In the early 1800s, what began as a mere 20 acres of newly planted vineyards transformed through the centuries into over 120 individual vineyards and wineries. It features a range of widely recognised brands of wine as well as small, family-run vineyards. 

But it’s not just wine that the region has to offer. 

Some of the earliest days of the region in centuries before were devoted to farming and mining. While some of these have become vast expanses of viticulture farmland, others have passed through time into eerie yet historic ghost towns, like Silverton and Hartley. 

Australia’s history in the region traces back to the Aboriginal and colonial periods. Travellers will experience a sense of tradition and history in the Wollombi Village, which sits just east of Yengo National Park. It’s one of many Aboriginal sites in the countryside and one in which visitors can walk through and learn about the ancient meeting spot Aboriginal peoples in the region. Enjoy a walking tour, visit the local cemetery, or swing by the museum. 

The area is also rich with the experiences it offers. Global tourists and local adventurers alike enjoy cycling tours along the wine trails and helicopter flights over vineyards, as well as artisanal restaurants, picturesque wilderness, incredible hiking trails through Barrington Tops National Park, art galleries, golf courses, and spas.
