Rothbury is close to many of the wineries and also, more importantly for us as it was a kid centred holiday, Rothbury was convenient to The Hunter Valley Gardens, aqua Golf, parks of Cessnock, bike riding options and horse riding options.

We chose Rothbury because we were doing a mystery picnic through Amazing.co and our first stop was a cafe in Rothbury. If you dont mind being out in the middle of no where where you are surrounded by nature this is a great place to re-charge your battery’s.

Everything is so easy to get to, roads are great and no more than 15 minutes to get to any location. Covid protocols make it much more difficult to do a simple cellar door visit but all wineries were very accommodating if number allowed.
