Weekend at Hunter Valley

We spent a very relaxing weekend in Hunter Valley at Doug and Claudia's house. Set in the middle of the farm lands with unspoiled views, it was the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine (the weather was perfect!) and relax.

In between lazing in the sun, we visited several wineries where we gorged on cheeses and olives and tried several fair wines.

The most exciting discovery of the weekend was green chili relish - a local delicasy that, mixed with cheese (or most anything) tastes like a dream. We bought a large jar which did not last long. Will definitely be looking out for more.
