Hotels in Hunter Valley, Australia
Hunter Valley is a wine region just two hours north of Sydney, famous for its Semillon and Shiraz vineyards. The climate is temperate, with cool winters (40-60°F or 5-15°C) perfect for cozy cellar door tastings and cheese platters, and warm summers (70-90°F or 20-32°C) ideal for hot air ballooning over the Lower Hunter's rolling hills. While the Lower Hunter buzzes with boutique wineries and cooking classes, the Upper Hunter offers quieter horseback rides and national park hikes-so which side will you explore first?
