Luckily with the Hunter Valley Wine and Food Month kicking off this week, you can rearrange your priorities and spoil yourself a little this winter. The ‘Pure Wine Indulgence Series’ has been created to attract the ‘at home wine connoisseurs’ who want to immerse themselves in the winemaking culture of the Hunter Valley.

This series of events will be hosted by Hunter Valley winemakers and wine educators in small groups, allowing an in depth understanding of the various attributes of Hunter Valley’s premium wine.
