It’s that time of the year, when idyllic afternoons turn into lazy evenings with long, slow sunsets, best enjoyed on the veranda with a glass of your favourite wine (and perhaps some cheese and bikkies to go with it).

Audrey Wilkinson and Brokenwood wineries in the NSW Hunter Valley offer irresistible twilight tastings to make the most of daylight savings.

The Audrey Wilkinson Twilight Tasting Experience starts with a glass of sparkling wine as you listen to the history of Audrey Wilkinson and witness a lightshow spectacular as the sun casts its final rays across the vineyards before calling it a day.

Next, relax over candlelight on the alfresco deck and enjoy a special wine tasting menu matched to a charcuterie and cheese board, followed by with sweet treats matched to fortified wines. The Twilight Tasting experience runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from November to March.

At nearby Brokenwood, Twilight on the Terrace beckons each Friday and Saturday from 4pm – 7pm during daylight savings. Soak up the ambience with live music, fabulous bar snacks and Brokenwood favourites by the glass or bottle. Book directly with Brokenwood via email or phone.
