A wine weekend when it pays to go for Broke



It is always a pleasure to visit the Hunter Valley, but Saturday, March 14, is a date for the diary with one of the region's most popular festivals shining a spotlight on a less-visited sub-region.  

A Little Bit of Broke, the roaming wine and food celebration, returns across the Broke Fordwich wine region, just a little bit off the beaten track. 

Think a day in the vines moving between between 15 cellar doors, farms and dining spots, enjoying small-batch wines, local food and live music.

The event is designed for easy wandering - no set program, no central hub. 

Visitors can experience boutique wine tastings, cocktails at the region’s own distillery, farm-gate-style food, entertainment and a country vibe. 

Foods on offer will range form from Mediterranean-style shared dining to dumplings or seafood lunches, grazing platters and charcuterie. 

Karin Adcock, president of Broke Fordwich Wine and Tourism Association, says the event captures what visitors love most about the region.

“A Little Bit of Broke is exactly how we like to welcome people," she says. "It’s a chance to meet the 
winemakers and producers, listen to some live music, and really get a feel for Broke Fordwich as a place. You can take your time, follow your curiosity and shape the day however you like.”

Jennie Curran, CEO of Hunter Valley Wine and Tourism Association, says the event showcases one of the Hunter’s most distinctive sub-regions.

“Broke Fordwich has its own rhythm and personality, and A Little Bit of Broke gives visitors a really authentic way to experience it,” she says. 

“It’s ideal for a day trip from Sydney or Newcastle, but we encourage visitors to book a stay in Broke Fordwich as part of a weekend away in the Hunter Valley”.

Tickets include access to all participating venues and live music across the region. 

Pre-sale tickets are now available for $35 including an event wine glass, 4 x 60ml wine tasting 
vouchers and event program.
