Lovedale sits to the East of the main Pokolbin area and is known as the quiet side of the Hunter Valley. It has a definite unhurried pace and doesn’t suffer from overcrowding or traffic on weekends. Lovedale offers visitors a selection of smaller family owned wineries and accommodation, restaurants, artist galleries and activities like golf, hot air ballooning, chocolate tasting, olives and olive oil and horse-riding. Some of the views from the Lovedale area are simply breathtaking, with the Brokenback Range forming a spectacular backdrop.

Just because it’s a small, relatively quiet and somewhat unknown pocket of the Hunter Valley doesn’t mean the area isn’t up to scratch when it comes to the wines its producing.
