Start your foodie journey in Morpeth
Morpeth is a historic town bursting with culinary delights. Begin your day with a sourdough class at the Historic Arnott Bakehouse. Learn the secrets of this time-honoured craft and leave with your own freshly baked bread and sourdough culture to take home. After the class, stroll through Morpeth’s charming streets and explore boutique shops offering artisan chocolates, handmade cheeses, and other local goodies. Don’t miss a coffee stop at one of the town’s cosy cafes—pair it with a slice of cake for an indulgent treat.
Head to the heart of the Hunter Valley
The Hunter Valley is synonymous with wine, but there’s much more to its food scene. Visit iconic wineries like Scarborough Wine Co. or Audrey Wilkinson for tastings paired with local cheeses. Many wineries also feature on-site restaurants where you can enjoy farm-to-table dishes showcasing regional produce. For a casual bite, pack your sourdough from Morpeth and head to one of the valley’s many picnic spots. A fresh loaf, a bottle of wine, and a view of rolling vineyards make for the perfect al fresco experience.
Don’t forget dessert
End your day with something sweet. Hunter Valley Chocolate Company offers handcrafted truffles and fudges that are too good to pass up. If you’re feeling adventurous, try dessert wines or liqueurs at one of the local cellar doors to complement your treats.
