RAISE A GLASS IN THE HUNTER

A bumper 2014 vintage has set the stage for the upcoming Hunter Valley Food & Wine Month. This much-anticipated annual event showcases the region’s diverse wine and food culture with a month-long series of themed activities throughout June.

The food and wine extravaganza, the perfect antidote to winter blues, offers a chance to wine and dine with leading Hunter Valley winemakers and chefs, take part in an array of fun and interactive classes to fine-tune culinary skills, or to curl up beside an open fire with a glass of premium Hunter Valley wine and a cheese plate.

Organised by The Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism Association, the 2015 Hunter Valley Wine & Food Month is proudly supported by Destination NSW, through the Regional Flagship Events Program.

Meanwhile a new issue of the Hunter Valley Magazine has just been published. The magazine showcases some of the region’s highlights, including a few exotic red varieties, looks at food and wine matching tips and takes a behind-the-scenes look at life as a winemaker. The magazine also features suggestions on romantic places to stay and play and local chefs’ favourite pizza recipes.
