Visitors can enjoy sunrise hot air balloon flights over the vineyards, discover local galleries and artisan producers, browse regional markets or spend an afternoon at Hunter Valley Gardens.

Spicers Guesthouse offers a contemporary country atmosphere, with inviting communal spaces, landscaped grounds and an emphasis on relaxed dining.
Whichever property you choose, the Hunter Valley provides an excellent setting for enjoying regional food, wine and the slower pace of country life.
