Wollombi and surrounds
Paddock Sessions #PS21 Happiness Edition
Cancelled
When you come to Wollombi Paddock Sessions we recommend taking the opportunity to spend a little more time and take in the pleasures of the historic village, local wine tasting, amazing scenery and unique stores.
Historic Village
Experience rich aboriginal and colonial history, including rock carvings, sacred Mount Yengo and the convict-built Great North Road, museum, and historical buildings, including Mulla Villa Guest House complete with convict cells and ghost stories.
The name “Wollombi” is derived from the Aboriginal meaning ‘meeting place’ or ‘meeting place of the waters’.
Wine and Produce
A unique part of Hunter Valley Wine Country, the Wollombi Valley’s vineyards have been producing fine wines in this region since the 1850’s.
The vineyards and wineries of the Valley are small, boutique operations run by owner operators. The grapes are picked by hand. Wines are largely hand made in small quantities. The results are rare award and trophy-winning wines of exceptional quality.
More recently agri-tourism has found it's way to the area and for those looking for something different & more interactive when it comes to planning a getaway there are a few opportunities in the area. Don't miss Moore Farm Fresh Produce roadside stall on the Great Northern Rd (just about halfway between Wollombi and Laguna).
And thank you ABC News for an excellent feature on one of Wollombi/Laguna's favourite locals at Little Valley Farm, Laguna.
