The prestigious annual Australian Traveller People’s Choice Awards were announced on 30th November at an exclusive event in Sydney.

For the second year in a row, the Hunter Valley has been chosen as Australia’s best wine region in the 2015 Australian Traveller People’s Choice Awards.

Chairman of The Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism Association, George Souris, says, “We are honoured and excited by the award, which re-affirms that the Hunter Valley is the premier wine destination not only in New South Wales, but in all of Australia.

The Hunter Valley was up against four other Australian wine regions: Barossa Valley, Margaret River, Yarra Valley and McLaren Vale.”

The awards, voted for by more than 4000 Australian travellers recognise the best travel experiences and destinations for 2015.
