The Hunter Valley is Australia's oldest and one of its most well-known wine regions! On any given day, you will find world-class Hunter Valley Semillon that has been called 'Australia's unique gift to the world', great Australian Shiraz that lasts for generations, and generations of family winemakers. Over one very special weekend, Lambton will bring the Hunter Valley to you when it plays host to best the region has to offer, during The Lambton Park Wine and Food Festival.

The inaugural event, to be held March 6 and 7, will be your one stop shop with over 30 exhibitors including a diverse group of gourmet food producers, boutique wineries, and superb local restaurants from Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Foodies and wine lovers are in for a treat, with 2 full days of tastings, cooking demonstrations, viticulture seminars and entertainment.

With a majority of the exhibitors being family owned wineries who have all contributed to the rich history of the Hunter Valley it seems only fitting that Lambton is the venue for the festival. The suburb has a history of its own, being one of the oldest in Newcastle, the first to have street lighting and Lambton Park itself was home to the city's first professional soccer match.
