The Hunter is one of Australia's most well known, and historically important wine regions. It is the premium wine region of New South Wales.
The two main topographical features are the alluvial flats of the valleys and the rolling hills. The region has a hot, humid summer and cool winter, and also divided by the Goulburn, Hunter, Paterson and Williams rivers. The capital of the Hunter is Newcastle with many significant towns within the region, including Cessnock, Maitland, Singleton, Muswellbrook, Scone and Murrurundi, which are all worth while to visit.
The Hunter Valley is famous for its Semillon and Shiraz is the regions premium red variety.
Further Information
Festivals such as Hunter Valley Harvest Festival, Budfest and Jazz in the Vines have fuelled enormous interest in the region that serves the very large population between Sydney to Newcastle.
The recently opened Vintage Hunter, Wine and Visitors' Centre is also serving the industry as well as tourism by profiling the regions facilities and providing accommodation information.
