Taste of the Hunter Valley

Taste of the Hunter Valley brings the best wineries, chefs, distillers and stalls from the Hunter Region into the Newcastle CBD. Gather the gang, jump on the tram and experience the ultimate Hunter Tour right on Newcastle harbour! This isn't your typical Hunter Valley wine tour — this is an experience for the entire family! Guests can enjoy wine, beer and spirits, Discover Stage Sessions, mini golf and giant lawn games, jumping castles and family rides, cheese, deli and market stalls, food trucks, live local music and face painting. Whether you fancy a shiraz, negroni or pale ale, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Sample new wines, enjoy a glass by the live music and take your favourite bottles home. Perhaps a cheese plate or wood fire pizza is more your style while experiencing a guided tasting at the Discover Stage, or challenge your mates to a round of golf! No one is missing out at this event, with free entry for kids — bring the entire family for a day out on the jumping castles. A limited number of 2026 show bags are also available for pre-purchase.
