Broke: Wine, Art and Landscape
When looking for a hotel in Broke, it can help to first decide what you want from your stay. Wine tasting, an art walk, scenery and a June event each offer a different focus. The experiences also vary in format: some combine a guided tour with a tasting, another walk has a stated duration, and Smoke in Broke is tied to an event weekend. If you are planning your trip around a bookable experience or a specific date, check current availability or event dates before making plans.
Guided Wine and Art Experiences
At Margan, a guided tour takes you through the working farm, vineyards and barrel hall, and includes a tasting of five single-vineyard wines. This combination brings together the farming operation and wine tasting in one bookable visitor experience. If you want a guided wine tour to be the focus of your trip, this is a clearly defined offering in Broke. Dates may change, so do not plan around a specific time without checking first; look up the latest tour dates.
Winmark Sculpture Park focuses on art in the park, with a collection that includes works by Australian artists. It also offers the two-hour Wine & Wander walk through the sculpture park. Unlike Margan’s tour, the focus here is the sculpture park; at two hours, the walk has a specific time frame to help with planning your day. This walk is also bookable, and availability may change. If you want to include it in your plans, check current availability beforehand.
Landscape and a June Event
The lavender fields at Hunter Lavender Farm blend into the surrounding vineyards, set against the backdrop of the Yellow Rock Escarpment and the Brokenback Ranges. The combination of lavender, vineyards and this backdrop creates a distinct scenic highlight alongside the guided wine and art experiences. If you weigh the scenery as well as activities when choosing a destination, this is part of what Broke has to offer.
Smoke in Broke is a weekend event in June featuring street food, boutique wine, craft beer and market stalls. This makes the event weekend different from a single guided tour or tasting: several of these offerings are part of the program. Dates and the program may change. If you want to plan your trip around this weekend, check the latest event dates and announced program beforehand.
Mead Tasting and Stargazing
At Mead Tasting and Stargazing Hunter Valley, at 72 Wollombi Street in Broke, you first taste six popular meads. You are then shown how to use a telescope to view interesting points in the sky that are visible that evening. The experience combines a tasting with guided stargazing focused on what is visible that particular evening. The experience is bookable, and availability may change. Check it beforehand if this activity is to be a key reason for your trip.
