Upper Hunter

This country paradise has it all, sprawling farmlands, boutique wineries and cafes and plenty of charm

Comprising the townships of Aberdeen, Denman, Merriwa, Murrurundi, Muswellbrook and Scone, this precinct may be further afield than the usual Hunter Valley haunts but is no less interesting or beautiful.

While each village has its own flavour, they all have one thing in common – good old-fashioned country hospitality.  Not only will you uncover a collection of lovely boutique wineries here, but there’s great eateries and plenty of cultural activities to explore, all within a beautiful and charming country setting.  Chief among these are the many renowned, iconic horse studs and magnificent nature reserves offering a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. 

Whether your ideal weekend away encompasses relaxed picnics, historic village tours and scenic drives through the countryside or bushwalking, mountain biking, camping and fishing, the Upper Hunter has you covered.
