grape picking hunter valley

welcome to lovedale

Lovedale welcomes you to this unique tourism destination & community.

....one of the oldest wine growing regions of the Hunter Valley, it is abundant with wildlife, has not much traffic & glows beautiful sunsets. Our small population of around 2000, is an eclectic mix, some born & bred in the Hunter region & some who have come for a ‘sea change’.

....located just north of Cessnock, our roads are less travelled, our night skies are starrier, & we ooze class & characters.

...during your visit you will sip our delicious wines; meet the winemaker or the grape grower; you will taste produce grown with love & cooked by passionate chefs.

....our accommodation will suit your tastes & budgets. Indulge in a massage, wander about a gallery, meander the skies in a hot air balloon, enjoy a game of golf, challenge or discover yourself with a sunset horse-ride.

....party with friends or family at the Lovedale Long Lunch, or your wedding, or the company conference, (perhaps not at the company conference).

....experience the generous community spirit that exists in Lovedale, meet the owners, come & join us, most of us like to talk & have a sip or two.

The Lovedale Chamber of Commerce, the Lovedale Vignerons Association & the community, work together Greening Lovedale, improving our roads, caring for our animals, “Cleaning-Up” Lovedale, & several are voluntary members of the Rothbury Bush Fire Brigade.


Romance, food, wine, events & activities.....what more could you ask for.

you will never want to leave………
