It’s slightly out of the way of the Pokolbin, we did a detour of 23 mins to get there. The view is stunning and would be an ideal wedding venue (apart from being slightly further away), and the peacock is the highlight of the trip.

A weekend in the Hunter Valley is always a memorable experience with great weather, food and fantastic wine.#deliciousfood #winery

Since it was my first time, the whole trip was very exciting and enjoyable. Although we had to get up very early (4 AM), it was good that we stayed in Hunter Valley the night before, so we didn't have to wake up even earlier. The preparation took longer than expected, and unfortunately, we couldn't ascend in time to see the sunrise. Although it wasn't a sunny day, at least it didn't rain, allowing us to take off smoothly (it had been raining for the past few days). At the end, we had a delicious breakfast to enjoy. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Hunter Valley～

I only knew that there are hot air balloons in Turkey before, but you can't play hot air balloons in the Hunter Valley. Because it takes five o'clock in the morning (Sydney time) to start, so I need to wear some warmth, the jacket is needed, I wear a single jacket and jeans, a bit cold. Our tour guide told me that the grass dew is very heavy, be careful, I am not taking it seriously. But when I walked ten steps, I found that my little white shoes were all wet, and the jeans and trousers were soaked. I wanted to cry without tears and wet and cold. So everyone remembers to wear mid-boots or high-top sneakers, and scarves are essential. Because the morning fog is relatively large, it is always safe to find the best landing point after the fog has been exhausted. About seven o'clock, the morning fog finally dispersed, everyone set off to take a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon staff first explained the precautions when entering the balloon and lifting off. Then there is the hot air balloon. Our group of three hot air balloons are inflated at the same time, colorful, and soon become a beautiful balloon shape. A hot air balloon can sit about fifteen people. People with high blood pressure and heart disease can't take a hot air balloon. Before you board the ball, you must fill in your age and health status on the PAD and sign it.

There are many Hunter Valley wineries. The official records are more than 120. Basically all the wineries are open to the public and can be visited and purchased. The famous wineries include McGuigan, Wyndham Estate, Tyrrell's, Pepper tree, etc., which are basically casual, have a certain history, and the taste is good. The pepper tree is smaller than other wineries, but the style is very retro, and it is very close to the manor hotel I wanted to book, and there is also an atmosphere restaurant nearby. Compared with other large-scale wineries, individuals prefer this exquisite small winery. The history of pepper tree wines is not long. This year is the 27th year of establishment. However, the wines of the winery have won many awards since 2013 and have been rated as five-star wineries for five consecutive years. New Year's Day wants to explore the small attractions, Hunter Valley is a very good choice.

When a group of old and small drunks meet Australia's oldest wine producing hunter valley, the only result... is to drink a whole day of wine! The Hunter Valley is less than 3 hours drive from Sydney and is renowned for its highly acclaimed Saitama grapes, over 120 family-run wineries and creative young winemakers. Today's choice is AUDREY WILKINSON, one of the oldest wineries in the Brokeback Mountains. Under the leadership of the sommelier, I tried up to five or six white and red wines. Can you describe it with a cool word? But what impressed me the most was the salad of salad, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon from another winery at dinner. It was awesome! After returning to the hotel car, I became a mobile karaoke. Everyone started to sing loudly and confusingly... It seems that there is nothing in life that cannot be solved with a glass of wine. If not, come back for another.

The empty experience of the Sea, Sea and Air experience in New South Wales is the biggest surprise: with the sunrise glow, flying slowly in the rolling hills and vineyards, the beautiful scenery! When the hot air balloon falls, the staff will also teach you to help pick up the hot air balloon, pull, push, roll, roll, squat, jump, full of sweat but full of fun! Our hot air balloon company is Australia's first hot air balloon brand, Aloft. It is full of service, with champagne breakfast and wall crack recommendation!

The Hunter Valley in Hunter Valley is located in New South Wales, Australia, and is also the largest river valley in New South Wales. Before I came to the Hunter Valley, I didn't know that this is Australia's most historic wine region, which means there are many wineries here. Because of the wineries here, there is the most distinctive "wine tour", the first-class wines accompanied by food, plus the unique style of accommodation, of course, there are three golf courses that meet the standards of the competition, here It is already a famous tourist destination in Australia. Hunter Valley is not far from the Sydney city. You can choose to travel by car or long-distance bus. Many long-distance bus companies offer day trips or two-day trips to the Hunter Valley. Although I don't like drinking very much, I don't want to drink, but I also want to try Australian wine. In Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard, you can taste the wine while listening to the winemaking process introduced by the world's top winemakers. There is not only wine here, there are also three golf courses. On the golf course, in addition to the players who play, there are kangaroos. Before coming to Australia, I often watched the video of Kangaroo's raging in Australia on the Internet. Driving on the road is to shoot a kangaroo to hit your posture. This can only happen in Australia. We arrived at Chateau Elan, a small kangaroo on the golf course here, looking forward to your arrival. In addition to the very cute little kangaroo, there is also a big kangaroo that is only going to box with you. In the face of these big kangaroos, I really have to pay attention, and it is very likely that I will be embarrassed by it. Because I wanted to go over and take a photo with the wallabies, I was almost beaten. It really looked like a legend.
