Hunter Valley Wine Tasting (Sat 20th Feb 2016)

[Bindibuys]

Sam, if you book in Cessnock, I can pick you up on my way thru Cessnock to get to Vineyards/ CP

 

[Bindibuys]

Is there now a definite pick up point or points?

Jojen has booked the bus, but just had a thought..... as the bus will be coming from the Cessnock Depot, it MAY be possible for them to do a pickup along the main street (Vincent St) and perhaps Potters Brewery.
Main pick up is at CP (corner of Wine Country Dr & Lovedale Rd) opposite the airport if you are looking at maps.

See post 46 Sam. Pokolbin village would probably be the cheapest in the area, or try Cessnock which would then require you getting a taxi to the pick up point. Hope this helps.

I'll try book something soon and let you know.

15 best Hunter Valley wineries to visit, recommended by localsMr and Mrs Romance
Found this list today.

I note Simply Red will be playing at Bimbadgen Winery on this weekend next year. Might increase the numbers of people in the area.

 

[Bindibuys]

Yes, that is why we picked a date so far in advance, so everyone had a chance to book accommodation before any concerts were announced.

At least at Bimbadgen the capacity is only 8,000 if it was a concert at Hope Estate, they cater to 20,000 and Tempus Two aprx 18,000

 

[QF WP]

Must start looking at flights and transfers...

Already mentioned to Mrs QF WP, who loves the idea. Colour us Gold x 2. Nice dates (so a certain FT event will be held in March 2016 )

I have just returned from Armidale to ADL via the New England Highway and must say the area looks fabulous right now. Really look forward to coming back in February.
