Why you'll love it
The Hunter Valley is Australia's oldest wine region, about two hours north of Sydney, with Pokolbin at its centre. It scores 9 out of 10 for food, romance and safety, and 8 for luxury and wellness, with cellar doors, long lunches and spa stays.
The best time to visit the Hunter Valley is March to May or September to November, with mild days. Late summer and autumn are vintage, when the grapes are picked.
Visit cellar doors along Broke Road and McDonalds Road, and try the region's semillon and shiraz. Take a hot-air balloon flight at sunrise, visit the Hunter Valley Gardens, and stop at the cheese, chocolate and olive shops between wineries.
The Hunter Valley suits couples, friends and food and wine lovers.
