things to do in HUNTER VALLEY 

Explore the Hunter Valley: More than just wine (but also great wine)

The Hunter Valley is Australia’s oldest wine region — and while wine lovers will be in heaven, there’s also a world of experiences beyond the cellar doors. Whether you're looking to unwind, explore, indulge or simply make the most of your conference getaway, you’ll find plenty to see and do.

Take a swing at the Hunter Valley Golf Club, located on-site at Rydges Resort. Surrounded by vineyards and mountain views, it’s the ultimate way to relax outdoors.

Start your day with a sunrise flight over the valley for breathtaking panoramic views. A once-in-a-lifetime way to see the region.

Discover scenic trails that wind through bushland, vineyards and rolling hills. Perfect for a morning stroll or an afternoon cycle.

Not a wine person? No problem. Indulge in cheese tastings, handmade chocolates. 

Take home more than just memories — book a hands-on class and learn how to make regional dishes using fresh, local ingredients.

Travelling with kids? Head to the Hunter Valley Wildlife Park to get up close with kangaroos, meerkats, lemurs and more. Rydges also offers a waterpark and playground for on-site fun.
