Hunter Wine Theatre

Hunter Valley Resort offers the total 'wine experience' with the Hunter Wine Theatre for visitors to the Hunter Wine Country.

The fun side of seeing a winery in action is when the grapes are being picked and put through the crusher at the winery - which for The Hunter Valley happens only in January and February. For the rest of the year action at the winery is generally pretty quiet.

Not so with the Hunter Wine Theatre. The wine experience takes just over half an hour in a dedicated theatre. Up on the big screen, learn a little of the Hunter's wine heritage, Australia's oldest wine area. See the grapes being harvested, and being crushed at the on-site winery.

After the show, up come the lights and it's down to the serious business of wine tasting. In front of each visitor is a bracket of the Hunter's best wines.
