What's on for the weekend?

I love Wednesday. The working week is half done and the weekend is clearly on the horizon. So what have you planned for the weekend?

Autumn in the Hunter Valley is my favourite time of year. The trees have started to change colour,  the days are clear and the temperature is still pleasant enough to be outside. My weekend will certainly involve riding, probably catching up with some friends and defiantly some food & wine. I have a beautiful wood fired oven that I inherited from my Grandmother. It's the focal point of the kitchen in winter. Cooler weather calls for slow cooked food.  

If you feel like a getaway here are a few suggestion on how to spend your time in the Wollombi Valley.

Stay with us at Valle Laguna for 2 nights, and we'll give you the 3rd night free.

E-mail us at enquiries@vallelaguna.com.au or visit the website www.vallelaguna.com.au

We have some wonderful options for dining.

 The Great North Trading Post is popular with visitors and locals! They have great food all weekend and live music on Friday nights . www.gntp.com.au

 Mulla Villa is an original 1840 convict built sandstone Magistrate’s house and is quiet the dining experience! They are open for lunch and dinner. www.mullavilla.com.au

The Wollombi Tavern is not only your typical country but it's the home Dr. Jurd's Jungle Juice. No visit to the valley is complete without a little taste! www.wollombitavern.com.au

Saturday, visit the art exhibition by Guntis Janson " Paintings from the Studio" at the Wollombi Cultural Centre, Wollombi.  Open weekends 10am to 4pm, from Saturday 16 to Sunday 24 May 2015

or 

Indulge in a little bit of wine tasting at one of the many local vineyards. www.wollombivalleywinetrail.com.au
My personal favourite are the Stonehurst Methode Champenoise and the Lemoncello liqueur from Wollombi Village Vineyard. 

Happy planning! I guarantee you'll love our little piece of paradise.
