There’s no better way of discovering delicacies and hard to find produce, than by strolling the gorgeous acres of Rohanlea, a glass of bubbles in hand and the great company of Pup, Simon and Jo!  If you’re an avid gardener or self-declared 'Foodie', our edible walking tour is NOT TO BE MISSED! 

You’ll find plants from around the world, heirloom varietals of herbs and veggies, fruits that you’ve never heard of and you’ll get to enjoy a delicious fresh lunch cooked by Jo in the old round yard garden. 

One of Simon’s latest projects, the espalier section of their orchard is both beautiful and fascinating, and luckily for our guests, he’s more than happy to share the know-how with you so that you can try it out back at home. 

Our Live Like a Local Gourmet Escapes give people a chance to spend 5 days and 4 nights discovering the behind the scenes highlights of Hunter Valley life.  We bring together the best things – great company, delicious food and wine and some unbookable hands-on experiences that only a local can arrange.
