 The wine cellar and tasting room at Robert's Restaurant, in the Hunter Valley |
The first grape vines were planted in the Hunter Valley in the 1820s, making the region Australia’s very first wine-growing district. Now, the Hunter is taking off faster than a rabid skyrocket, paralleling the growth of the Australian wine industry as a whole. Heady with the fumes from the industry’s meteoric rise over the last ten years, wine growers continue to plant new vines despite a big downturn in retail wine prices.
