When most people talk about escaping the noise of the big city, they are planning a sea change. Unfortunately, this change in scenery doesn’t always come with the peace and quiet we all dream of. Somehow the hustle and bustle finds us again, especially in summer, and we start longing for that quite change all over again.

The best way to realise a wonderful, peaceful life is to escape to the natural beauty of the country. Pokolbin is a country oasis, nestled in the heart of the wine region, only two hours south of Sydney. Just imagine waking up to a view of the majestic Barrington Tops on the horizon, but being only minutes from the local golf course at the Vintage Golf Resort and Spa. What a way to start your day.

The area even has its own airfield. Cessnock Aerodrome is located on Wine Country Drive at Pokolbin, seven kilometres north of the town of Cessnock. The aerodrome is a registered airport with refuelling facilities and hangars. It is home to three flying schools, for those who wish to live that childhood dream and learn to fly. Flights in vintage aircraft with Hunter Valley Joy Flights operate from the airfield. Sightseeing flights in helicopters are also available along with business and tourist charter flights.

The Pokolbin area of the Hunter Valley has so much to offer. There is an abundance of Australia’s best wineries just down the road. It is so easy to just duck into Petersons Wines , Briar Ridge or experience the unique flavour of the Keith Tulloch Wines. Not to mention the tasty treats from the Hunter Valley Cheese Factory or the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company. You could even combine them all for a truly decadent day out.

As for the restaurants, they are truly magnificent. One evening you could be dining in front of a lovely warming fireplace at the Muse Restaurant , while the next you could be enjoying a romantic dining experience under the classic chandeliers at the Circa 1876 Restaurant. As these are just two of the forty-six dining establishments listed in the Pokolbin area, you will find yourself very spoilt for choice.
