The skies cleared just in time, and what a fantastic evening it was at the Hunter Tourism™ Industry Networking Event held last night at the beautiful Moorebank Vineyard in Pokolbin 🍷

More than 60 tourism operators and small business owners from across the Hunter Region came together for an evening of connection, collaboration and celebration of our vibrant visitor economy. From familiar faces to new operators, it was wonderful to see the industry unite in such a welcoming and relaxed setting.

With the stunning vineyard backdrop, great conversations flowing and a shared passion for showcasing the very best of our region, the atmosphere throughout the evening was warm, positive and inspiring.

A special thank you to our generous sponsors for helping make the evening such a success: Moorebank Vineyard, The Real Ice Cream Company and Ink & Snow. Your support and hospitality were truly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to support and strengthen the Hunter tourism industry. Events like these are a wonderful reminder of the passion, resilience and community spirit that make our region so special.
