An Incredible Destination Wedding in Australia

Hunter Valley is one of the most iconic and recognisable regions of Australia. This is the region of the country that produces some of the best wines in the world. The Hunter Valley was one of the earliest places colonised by European settlers. In the early 1800s, certain settlers decided to plant wine grapes from Europe. Some of these vines are actually still in existence in the region. Some of the Shiraz vines, for example, are over one hundred and twenty years old.

Paradoxically, the region is not actually very great wine country by most European standards. It is far too hot and humid to grow many of the wine varieties in the way that they’re grown elsewhere. Because of the high heat and humidity, many of the grapes come out more acidic than they would have been if grown in the wine-growing regions of Europe or North America. Semillon is one of these wines that is most affected by the harsh climate; because of this, the unique Semillon cannot be reproduced anywhere else in the world. That’s why Hunter Valley Semillon has become so iconic.

Cottages

Wine has become such an iconic and indelible part of the region that many vineyards have built cottages to accommodate guests. These cottages tend to be built to resemble the homes of the traditional vintners. They’re complete with all of the amenities that you would expect from a 21st-century venue. As tourism has grown in the industry, these vineyards and surrounding organisations have begun to build more and more accommodations. Wedding reception venues in Hunter Valley emphasise the history and the beauty of the region.

The same harsh climate that produces some of the best-tasting and most iconic wine in the world also offers a beautiful backdrop to a wedding.

Hills and Valleys

The entire region is typified by rolling hills, beautiful peaks, and deep valleys. The mountains around the area run in various ridges that provide beautiful scenery for any wedding or wedding reception. Most of the venues in the area are actually located on vineyards; so, when you are at your wedding or reception, the background includes acres and acres of Semillon, Shiraz, and so on. Rows of wine grapes create a unique and stunning display for all of your photos.

In addition to the acres of wine grapes themselves, the mountain ranges provide wonderful scenery.

The Region and Its Beauty

In summary, the Hunter Valley region is one of the most beautiful parts of Australia. Grapes were first planted here in the 1830s by European settlers, and many of the vines are still growing wine grapes to this day. The region is dotted with mountains and gently rolling hills that provide wonderful venues for weddings and receptions. The climate is considered to be very harsh by wine-growing standards for its heat and humidity; however, the climate is very lovely in the winter as it is very mild when other parts of the country might be cold. You should definitely consider a destination wedding in Australia’s wine country.
