Somewhere new to stay in the Hunter; and a new pasta experience

Want to get away from it all in the heart of the Hunter Valley vineyards? Meet the De Iuliis family's Steven Vineyard Cottage, which launched this week at Hunter Valley Stays.

Located in the heart of Pokolbin, its offering a special deal for guests who stay before October 31. Stay two nights and get a third night free.

All guests enjoy a complimentary twin pack of De luliis wine and Hunter Valley Olive Oil.

The cottage is custom designed to host up to eight guests with six accommodated in the cottage and two more in a self-contained studio tailored for two more friends or family.

The promise is for "luxurious bedding, beautiful bathrooms and designer artworks throughout". There is also a vintage leather sofa by the gas fireplace.

There is also a dedicated games room and a plunge pool.

If your timing is right you might also be able to check out the new Under the Hunter Valley Sun experience; a new collaboration between Audrey Wilkinson Wines and local cooking school Our Italian Table, which runs on the last Friday of each month.

This is a chance to learn the art of traditional pasta-making by hand - rolling, shaping, and crafting just as has been done for generations.

The immersive experience includes a hands-on pasta-making demonstration, followed by a relaxed, shared-style long table lunch with two handcrafted pasta dishes, fresh Italian salad, warm artisan rolls, and homemade biscotti to finish, all paired with Audrey Wilkinson wines.
