Morpeth Gallery

Located in the historical village of Morpeth in the Lower Hunter Valley, Morpeth Gallery has an excellent selection of fine traditional Australian landscape & wildlife art by internationally and nationally acclaimed artists. The gallery specialises in investment art with pieces which appreciate over time. The gallery opened in 1991 as a part of the Campbell's Store Craft Centre complex.

Morpeth has a number of very interesting places to visit and wander through both on the Main Street and in the little laneways. This gallery is one of those side excursions that will reward your time with a number of experiences. There is something for just about everyone including artworks, toys and local foods. I was impressed with the ginger beer tastings and left with a number of bottles.

Studio Amsterdam

Studio Amsterdam shows the artworks of Patricia Van Lubeck. Realism, Surrealism and Magic realism. Patricia’s recently created oil paintings are all about ‘individualism’. Human characteristics translated into slightly neo-surrealistic landscapes. Most of the people can associate themselves with one of the trees in the paintings. The trees are performing like actors.

Donarch Fine Chocolate

Located in the small village of Tenambit (not far from Morpeth), Donarch Fine Chocolate first opened to the public in mid 2016. Since then, this remarkable locally owned and family operated business has become somewhat of an institution. Community minded with a focus on premium quality and perfection, this multi-award winning chocolate has become one of the key foundations of our story and beautifully showcases the European techniques, passion and persistence of a truly remarkable chocolatier.

We went on a wine tour with ihop. As part of the tour we stopped at Tullochs winery for a wine and CHOCOLATE tasting. It was the best! The chocolates were from DONARCH Chocolate shop. The pairing was delish. So much so i had to visit their shop in Maitland. WOW what a surprise. What a variety. Dark, milk, strawberry, Caramel and white. Soft, hard, solid and All sorts. The lass serving us was lovely. She mentioned the owner has just opened another shop in Morpeth, and in a couple of weeks they will be decorating the shops for Christmas. Needless to say, i spent heaps to bring home. For all you chocolate lovers, this place is a must. You will be sorry if you miss it. YUMMMM.
