Hunter Valley, NSW

For the wine enthusiast, the Hunter Valley is the main producer of wine in NSW. Just a couple hours drive north of Sydney we are heading to the heart of the wine region in a town called Pobolkin.

Day 1 : Upon arriving into Pobolkin we stop off at the Chocolate Fudge Factory.

We are staying for 2 nights at Villa Provence , about a 2 minute drive for the centre of Pobolkin.

View from our room.

Day 2 : We are going into the town to visit the Hunter Valley Gardens.

They have a story book theme garden for the children to explore.
