The idea
A month of food, wine and music in Lovedale
For the whole of May 2027, Lovedale’s wineries, restaurants and venues are putting on wine dinners, live music and meal specials, with the Lovedale Long Lunch at Rydges one of the highlights on the calendar.
Register your events and we’ll promote them to visitors planning their Hunter Valley trip, across the Taste of Lovedale website, social media and email. Every event gets its own listing, linked to your Lovedale Hunter Valley business page.
Three ways to take part
Choose what suits your venue
01
Wine Dinners
A long table under the vines, a winemaker’s dinner in the barrel room, or a paired degustation with your current releases. Run it for one night or across several weekends in May.
Guests love a story, so tell them who’s cooking, what’s in the glass and why it belongs in Lovedale.
IdeasWinemaker-hosted dinners, museum release tastings, matched degustations, guest chef collaborations
02
Live Music
An afternoon set on the lawn, a band in the cellar door, a jazz brunch or a sunset acoustic session. Music gives guests a reason to stay longer and come back the next weekend.
List a one-off gig or a regular weekly session, and tell guests who’s playing and what to expect.
IdeasSunday sessions, acoustic sunsets, jazz brunches, local band nights
03
Meal Specials
A dish and a glass of wine, a set lunch, a grazing board for two or a long breakfast. Choose the days and services that suit you and run it for all or part of May.
Keep it simple and good value, and make it something guests can only get during Taste of Lovedale.
IdeasSet lunches, paired plates, grazing boards, cellar door platters
For accommodation
Stay specials
Give visitors a reason to make a weekend of it. Register a stay special and it will appear in its own Stay section on the Taste of Lovedale page, with a button straight to your bookings.
- A new deal or one you already run, as long as guests can book it for May
- The same $100 + GST per business, and still one fee if you also run an event
- No times or price per person needed. Just the offer, dates and a booking link
Ideas: stay three nights and pay for two, a bottle of local wine on arrival, late checkout, a midweek rate, or a package with dinner at a neighbouring venue.

Questions
Can I register more than one event?
Yes. Submit a separate registration for each event so it gets its own listing. The registration fee is paid once per business, so you won’t be charged again.
When will my listing go live?
We review each registration and publish it once it’s approved and paid. Register early and your event goes live sooner.
Who writes the listing?
You do. We may make small edits so it suits the website and our promotions.
Something else?
Email info@lovedalehuntervalley.com.au and we’ll help you get set up.
See you in May
