How good is the Hunter? For those of you whom haven't had the pleasure of visiting, you should try to go at least once in your lifetime!
I had the pleasure of attending a beautiful wedding there a few years ago, but at that time didn't really have the opportunity to explore and soak up the experience and culture that the Hunter Valley has to offer...
So when the opportunity arose to visit there for a long weekend away, kid free, with a great group of mums... how could I refuse?!
I was so impressed with the place: the landscape, the freshness of the produce and I even took part in my first ever wine tour! (and as a self-confessed non-wine drinker, I sniffed, sampled and even purchased a few bottles!)

Thanks to the wonderful organisational skills of Jacqui, our accommodation was just perfect. "The Chapel House" slept 8 people and was homely, comfortable and nestled amongst a serene setting of bush landscape and the occasional Kangaroo!
After our wine tour (with the inclusion of a visit to a Vodka distillery, chocolate and cheese store), we indulged in wine, chocolate, homemade pizzas and cocktails (with the help of the thermie of course!) and chatted away until nights end.

Trying my skill at wine tasting - notice the nose flare!

It was so relaxing and peaceful it was almost too hard to come home!! Thank you for a lovely weekend away together ladies, let's make it an annual thing!!!
Our last coffee together at Peppertree Winery before returning back to reality! :)
