Wine, Wildlife, Family Fun, Nature & Day Trips

Staying at Coal d’ Vine Entertainer in Cessnock puts you right in the heart of the Hunter Valley.

And while the Hunter Valley is famous for its wine, there’s a lot more to discover.

From cellar doors and long lunches to wildlife parks, gardens, markets, bush walks, historic villages, and spectacular countryside, Cessnock makes a great base for exploring the region.

We’ve put together 30 things to do around Cessnock and the Hunter Valley, including plenty of free and affordable activities alongside some great paid experiences.

Free & Affordable Things to Do

1. Explore Cessnock

Start close to home and discover Cessnock’s cafés, shops, parks, local history and relaxed country-town atmosphere.

Cessnock is the largest town in the Hunter Valley and a convenient base for exploring the surrounding vineyards and attractions.

2. Take a Scenic Drive Through Wine Country

You don’t have to spend money to enjoy the Hunter Valley.

Jump in the car and cruise through the vineyards around Pokolbin, Lovedale, Mount View, and Broke. You’ll find rolling hills, rows of vines, old farmhouses, and plenty of places to stop for a photo.

Sometimes the drive itself is the attraction.

3. Visit a Hunter Valley Lookout

Head towards the Mount View area and take in the views across the vineyards and valley.

Bimbadeen Lookout is a particularly good option for sweeping Hunter Valley scenery.

4. Enjoy a Picnic in Wine Country

Pack some local cheese, bread, fruit, and other goodies and find a scenic spot among the vineyards.

Some Hunter Valley wineries allow visitors to picnic on their grounds, giving you the chance to enjoy the scenery without paying for a major attraction.

5. Discover Local Art & Culture

Cessnock isn’t just about wine.

Visit the Marthaville Arts and Cultural Centre or check what’s happening at local galleries and performance venues. Cessnock hosts exhibitions, music, theatre, dance, and other cultural events throughout the year.

6. Explore Hunter Valley Sculpture

Art lovers can combine wine country with outdoor art.

The Winmark Sculpture Park in Broke is a particularly unusual experience, with large-scale sculptures displayed among the vines and surrounding countryside. Entry to the sculpture park is free.

7. Visit a Cellar Door

You don’t have to book an expensive wine tour to experience Hunter Valley wine.

Many cellar doors offer tastings at reasonable prices, and some offer complimentary tastings under certain conditions. McGuigan Wines and Tamburlaine Organic Wines have been highlighted by Visit NSW for free tasting options.

8. Visit Binnorie Dairy

Love cheese?

Wine, Food & Hunter Valley Experiences

The Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s best-known wine regions, with Semillon and Shiraz among its specialities.

Some of the closest cellar doors to Cessnock include wineries around Nulkaba, Mount View, Pokolbin and Lovedale.

A few worth putting on your Hunter Valley list include:

10. Enjoy a Long Lunch Among the Vines 

One of the great pleasures of the Hunter Valley is slowing down over lunch.

Choose a vineyard restaurant, grab a table overlooking the vines and make lunch part of the experience rather than something you squeeze between attractions.

The Hunter Valley has become as much a food destination as a wine destination.

11. Explore Hunter Valley Breweries

Not a wine drinker?

No problem.

The Hunter has breweries, distilleries, pubs and plenty of alternative food and drink experiences. Visit NSW specifically recommends exploring the region beyond wine tasting.

12. Take a Wine Tour 

Leave the car behind and let someone else do the driving.

Hunter Valley wine tours can include cellar-door tastings, lunch and transport between venues. There are tours ranging from small-group experiences to larger buses.

Lovedale is home to wineries, gourmet food producers, cellar doors and beautiful rural scenery.

It’s an easy area to include in a Hunter Valley day out from Cessnock.

14. Discover Pokolbin

Spend a day exploring cellar doors, restaurants, galleries, gardens and attractions surrounded by vineyards and the Brokenback Range.

It’s a great alternative when you’ve already explored Pokolbin.

27. Wollombi Historic Village

Take a drive south towards historic Wollombi.
