Hunter Valley Wineries, Cessnock in New South Wales, Australia

The Hunter Valley is just west of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia.
Chartered wine tours can be booked operating out of Sydney or Newcastle. However, a self drive tour can be just as fun with more scenery to indulge in.
Wine is a big part of the Hunter Valley, but cheese & bread is also becoming part of a winery visit & some stock olive oil varieties.
Cessnock is just one part of the Hunter Valley, it's very beautiful & in the town itself early in the morning, you can smell the bakeries cooking bread & pastry which fill the cold morning air.
From Cessnock, you take a drive up Wine Country Drive & the little back roads have more wineries to discover & wines with beautiful flavour.

To visit this part of the world on a budget (if you're traveling on the cheap) you can get here from Sydney or Newcastle via the public transport network. Make sure your Opal Card (integrated electronic ticketing card) is topped up & you're traveling with ease.
