"Wine-happy couples mix with families and foodies at this reconstructed former convent in the countryside (just don't expect to see any nuns). It’s in Pokolbin, the epicenter of vineyards and produce trails in the Hunter Valley area, around two hours’ drive from Sydney—making it an ideal base for a weekend of wine tastings. The 19 guest rooms are traditional, but not stuffy: think high headboards, chandeliers, generous curtains, scatter cushions, and splashes of mirror. Splurge on a Garden Suite for a private lounge area and a sun room with views of manicured gardens below." - Sophie Davies
