There's so much to do in Sydney, and if you ever run out of things to do (though highly unlikely), there is still a plethora of things to do. A couple hours drive from Sydney CBD is Hunter Valley, Australia's oldest and arguably most famous wine region. There is so much to do in the Hunter Valley, and whether you are looking to indulge, escape, or invigorate your senses, there is something for you.
Not too long ago, i spent a weekend in the Hunter Valley with a few of my friends, tasting a bunch of wine, eating a moderate amount of cheese and soaked in those beautiful vineyard views.
