Home to some of the oldest vines and biggest names in Australian wine, the Hunter Valley is a drawcard for lovers of a quality drop. Word on the street is the 2014 vintage is set to be a cracker! Talk of “best ever” and “vintage of the century” are being whispered by winemakers. Hunter Valley 2014 Semillons are being bottled and released now, whilst 2014 reds are maturing in oak barrels until their release later in 2015.
Blue Horizon’s cliff hugging location provides the perfect vantage point overlooking the Coral Sea. The décor has a Balinese inspired resort feel with comfortable, contemporary furnishings. Unlike many Airlie Beach apartments, Blue Horizon’s permits one night stays, making it a great luxe for less mini-break.
It all started in the mid-80s by a handful of wineries wanting to celebrate the region by showcasing Barossa wines paired with culinary delights over a winter’s weekend at their cellar doors. From these humble beginnings, Barossa…Be Consumed Gourmet Weekend has evolved into a celebration of the best of the Barossa food, wine and arts.
The Hunter Valley is an ideal weekend getaway with stunning vistas, great cellar door experiences and divine dining. The Hunter Valley is known for its award-wining Semillon and elegant Shiraz and with over 150 cellar doors in the region, you’re spoilt for choice.
