Hunter Valley

Last year we visited the Hunter Valley on our way up to Brisbane so we decided to have a couple of days back here on this trip.  We stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel.




Last trip we took a guided wine tour so this time we decided we would just visit one of favourite wineries, Brokenwood.  This is the original tasting hall.


In December they will be moving into their new accommodation.  So we renewed our membership and now have 2 dozen bottles of wine in our boot.


After sampling serveral wines it was time for lunch.  So we decided to eat at the Binnorie Dairy.  Its a working factory specializing in Cow and Goat Cheese.  They provide a wide range of goodies all sourced from the surrouding areas.


The workes preparing the cheeses.




Some of their various cheese and assorted foods.



We decided on the Plougman's platter.  It included Cow and Goat cheeses, terrine, pickalilley , pickles ham and assorted other delicious nibbles.  The platter was so big we had to get a take away box.


 Back at the Crown Plaza we tried a bean soup.

 Cheers,

Beverley and Ross
