Spent a long weekend in the Hunter Valley, exploring some of the best Food & wine that New South Wales has to offer. We hired a small cottage just outside Cessnock at the Southern end of the wine making region. It was in a very quiet and sheltered spot but also very cold as the windows were all single glazed and there was no central heating!! We did have a jacuzzi on the terrace, which helped and the wine also helped to take the chill off! We visited cellar doors (or 'wine factory outlets'), at Tallowwood, Briar Ridge, Tallvera, Brokenwood, and McWilliams. We also took a behind the scenes tour at McWilliams which we all enjoyed - even Daisy got in on the act, as she was the only one of us small enough to 'taste the terroir' in one of the old oak barrels! Had a fantastic time and will definitely go back - but maybe in the summer.
