Spicers Vineyards Estate
Getting there
Spicers Vineyards Estate is located in the heart of the Hunter Valley, a two-hour drive north-west of Sydney.
- Planes Fly into Newcastle Airport (www.newcastleairport.com.au) in Williamtown, which services domestic flights from Virgin Australia (www.virginaustralia.com) and Jetstar (www.jetstar.com). If you're making an international debut, touch down at Sydney Airport (www.sydneyairport.com.au), then hire a car for the two-hour drive up the freeway. Or, ask Spicers for a quote for transfers from Newcastle or Sydney.
- Trains Catch a Countrylink train (www.countrylink.info) from Sydney's Central Station for the two-hour trip to Maitland Station, which is 30 minutes from the hotel.
- Automobiles It's an easy drive from Sydney up the F3 freeway (National Route 1) to the Hunter Valley. All the major players have hire-car desks at Sydney Airport and throughout the city – and wheels are invaluable when touring this sprawling wine region.
- Others Organise a chopper flight, whether for a rock-star transfer or memorable wine-tasting tour, through Slattery Helicopter Charter (www.slatteryhelicoptercharter.com.au).
