If you want to taste all the yummy cheese at a cheap price then Hunter Belle is your best choice. Their café offers cheese tastings, high cheese teas, yummy baguettes and more. They are more than happy to accommodate large groups and you can also purchase some wine to go with it.

Keith Tulloch’s winery is infamous in the Hunter. His restaurant is equally prestigious. For lunch, reserve an outdoor seat in the kitchen for a more casual affair than in the restaurant. You will be treated to great food, even better wine and stunning views.
