What to pack
For this NSW wine country road trip from the Riverina to the Central Tablelands and into the Hunter Valley, pack for cellar doors, heritage towns and wide country skies.
A good tote bag is essential for cellar door tastings and bringing bottles home. Pack smart-casual for fine dining at Muse restaurant and Singleton's arts events, and comfortable shoes for market visits and Cocoparra National Park walks. Layers are worth having – Orange can be cool at altitude, while Griffith runs warm – and a designated driver is the most important travel accessory of all.
Explore Griffith
The 68 modern serviced apartments at the accessible-accredited Quest Griffith are the place to base yourself to explore the Riverina's food and wine treasures. The region's best Italian restaurants are on your doorstep, or go for a country drive to De Bortoli, one of Australia's oldest and most respected wineries, just 10 minutes away. Side trips to Wagga Wagga, with its riverside beach, and Cocoparra National Park are also a fine way to spend a day.

Explore Orange
The best wineries, cultural experiences, cafes and restaurants in Orange are all within easy reach of Quest Orange, our accessible-accredited property with a rooftop BBQ area offering views over the whole town by day and a sparkling country sky by night. Known as much for its charming lacework-trimmed Federation and Victorian homes as for its viticulture, Orange rewards slow exploration. Two EV chargers are also available for guests arriving in electric vehicles, and the region's cool-climate cellar doors are a short drive from town.
Groundstone Cafe, The Union Bank restaurant and bar, Printhie Wines, Jumbled boutique, Indigenous Cultural Adventures
Explore Singleton
The heart of the Hunter Valley, Singleton is one of the prettiest heritage towns in the region and the 35 spacious serviced apartments of the accessible-accredited Quest Singleton are the perfect base to explore all it has to offer. The main winery towns of Pokolbin and Lovedale are only a 30-minute drive south, and those looking for outdoor activities should head north to Lake St Clair, which is popular for swimming, boating and fishing.

Journey Home
Singleton to Sydney is a straightforward two and a half hours via the Hunter Expressway and M1, but there is no reason to make it a race. Stop at Worn Out Wares cafe for a final brunch, pick up a case of semillon from the Brokenwood cellar door, and take one last leisurely drive through the vines before the motorway carries you home. The Hunter Valley has a way of converting even the most reluctant wine enthusiast.
