11:50 Touch down at Wollombi Tavern on the old stage-coach route. Sample some of the infamous “Dr. Jurd’s Jungle Juice” before relaxing with one of the best local wines or beers. This is a real Australian country pub in a town steeped in history.
12:50 Back in the air, our next leg takes us to the Pokolbin Vineyard Region in the heart of the Hunter Valley for a wine tasting and lunch.
13:10 Arrive at either the Hunter Resort Country Estate or Bimbadgen Winery set amongst picturesque Hunter Valley vineyards. Both establishments will provide you with a sumptuous lunch during which your food will be married to a selection of the Estate’s own fine wines, then sit back and relax in the sun-filled courtyard, take a winery tour, or visit the cellar door for a tasting. Great service, great food, great wine.
