As the days start to warm and the spring flowers begin to bloom, there really is no better time to escape to the country. Wondering where to go? What to do?
Well, if your passion is wine (and if you’ve already made it this far, we gather you’re at least intrigued) then we suggest you pack a bag and venture out to a few of the finest wineries that New South Wales’ Hunter Valley has to offer.
Put simply, the Hunter Valley is the birthplace of Australian wine and has been an established wine-producing area since the 1800s. The region amasses more than 10 million visitors every year, appealing to wine enthusiasts and anyone and everyone in between with its exciting array of activities, food, drinks and the sheer beauty of the land. Clocking in at a mere two hours north of Sydney's hustle and bustle and a short stretch inland from Newcastle, the Hunter Valley is Australia's oldest and one of our best-known wine regions, boasting more than 150 great wineries.
A quick Google search will point you in the direction of the Hunter’s most popular and famous wineries. However, we all know the top dogs get their fair share of time in the sun and sometimes it’s the little guys that deserve some lovin’ too. So that’s why we’ve put together a short list of our top three vineyards amongst the Hunter Valley’s smaller wineries. These are essential visits to tick off your spring bucket list.

J’adore Jacob’s Creek Le Petit Rose’
Jacob’s Creek Le Petit Rosé is an absolute delight for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted, sophisticated rosé. From the moment the bottle is opened, the fresh aroma of summer fruits, like strawberries and raspberries, fills the air, inviting you to take that first sip.
The palate is perfectly balanced—light and crisp with just the right touch of sweetness. It has a refreshing acidity that keeps it lively, making it an ideal choice for warm afternoons or as a versatile companion to a variety of dishes. Whether paired with seafood, a charcuterie board, or enjoyed on its own, it consistently delivers.
What I love most about Le Petit Rosé is its elegance and subtlety. It’s not overpowering or overly fruity but rather offers a refined blend of flavors that linger pleasantly. The pale pink hue adds an aesthetic charm, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious.
For the price, Jacob’s Creek has truly outdone itself with this rosé. It’s a wine that feels luxurious without being heavy on the wallet. If you’re looking for something to impress guests or simply treat yourself, Le Petit Rosé is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!
