Lee Wharf, now a Maritime Museum
Looking towards Speers PointAnd it's right in the city!
Don't get too excited that you're going to find grapes in the middle of Hunter Street, our main thoroughfare, but this is the headquarters of the Hunter Wine Society in Workshop Way, just across the railway line from Hunter Street.
I just think it's wonderful that you can get an old railway workshop, tart it up and end up with a lovely building put to a completely different use to that originally intended.
The society sources wines from many areas and packages them up for members at reduced prices but also offers them varieties that they may not normally come across.
Pass me a glass Fred! This is from their blurb-
"Today, we are the largest independent, direct supplier of Australian wine.
