My family and I visited Hunter Valley Zoo recently while in Cessnock. We visited on 15/8/2020, we found the experience awesome. Family friendly, lots of animals to see to keep the kiddies amused with BBQ facilities. Due to Covid 19, there were sign in procedures and the tour groups weren't operating, but we had a very pleasant experience seeing the Meerkats, Lions etc. I would highly recommend travellers to visit. Oh, and you can purchase animal food to feed the animals as well!!!! :) Admission was reasonably priced also

The moment we set eyes on this wonderful estate we fell in love with its enchanting scenery and stimulating natural spirit. As one of the original Hunter Valley estates established over a half a century ago, it was our dream to rejuvenate the existing vines and bring new beauty and wonder to the landscape. Now, many years and vintages later we are very proud to share that dream with you at our beautifully appointed cellar door. Come and enjoy our exquisite wines and new culinary range, taking the time to explore our grounds and experience the estate’s unique tranquillity. In this way, we hope our dream can in some way help to fuel your own.
