As Australia's oldest wine region, Hunter Valley is always a popular destination. But those who know will not only stop at Bokobin. They keep moving forward. This is where to live.

As our wheels crunched over the stones in the driveway, we were shocked by the fact that we had been in the car for 15 minutes since leaving the busy roads around Pocobin.
This is not to say the drive is long or the Broke Fordwich is particularly difficult.
In just one hour we noticed the traffic trend, the countryside was open, and our pulse was calm. It's like we've crossed some invisible lines, slowing down our lives.
The tiny settlement of bankruptcy is not just a crossroad west of Pokolbin, but one of the roads is conducted through its smaller Fordwich.
But there are over twelve exquisite little wineries and some truly splendid countryside between them. It all combines our entire sense of desire when we leave smoke behind.

The car's engine muttered to itself, and we walked out to admire our little castle. For the next two nights, our miniature kingdom was before us: Villa Vino.

Villa Vino at Winmark Wines, Broke Fordwich
Small, perfectly formed, surrounded by vines Winmark Brewery Villa Vino Tiny House has everything you need to spend a romantic vacation among hunters on the rolling hills of Broke Fordwich.
It's really a tiny house, although it doesn't feel like it.
The interior space is only two meters wide – enough to accommodate a double bed and has space for shelves on either side. But it's long enough to fit the hanging space, a small dressing table and a drawer box, several armchairs and a coffee table.
Furniture and artwork arranged on the walls are perfect choices; there is no feeling cramped or confusing at all.
Dining at Villa Vino's Little House
Pushed, you can use this space as a restaurant, but why do you do this when you have some great mural options on your doorstep?
In addition to the beautiful white walls of the small house, we also have outdoor kitchen cutlery to play with.
The kitchen is full.
Not only is there a complete gas grill, stove and microwave, but there are all the tools we need. Cutlery, crockery, cutlery, (actually sharp) chef's knife, refrigerator and sink.
More importantly, you also offer everything you need for a solid breakfast: twelve eggs, beautiful local thick-cut bacon, milk, sourdough, butter, grape cherry tomatoes, OJ, granola and fresh fruit are all waiting for the fridge.
There is also a bottle of the brewery’s own Chardonnay and a piece of chocolate for you to enjoy.
With solid walls on either side and protected by a drop-down screen in the northwest, this open-air kitchen is a clever year-round proposition.
You can sit by a wide table in the kitchen area or bring dinner to the fire pit.
With the evening approaching, we set the lit attractions and enjoy the night sky as the flames in the flames are icy with a glass of wine.
From the charming fire, we look up at heaven, and as the stars come out, the thin crescent of the moon carved into a glittering sickle into the sky.
Bathroom facilities
Of course, there is no room for a suite in the small house, but the solution is clever.
From the front door, but still on the bedroom and house elevated, the toilet and shower are located on one side of the separate unit. Those cold winter mornings, there's even a storage heater on the wall.
However, there isn't a lot of space for toiletries in the bathroom, so it's better to keep everything in the house.
Winmark Wine Hotel Doors and Gallery
From the small house, a short walk between the path and the vineyard, we took us to the wine cellar door.
Inside, the neat tasting room is more full of artwork than the small house. Our excellent host Milly told us a few pieces as she took us through Winmark’s wines.
Winmark only makes Chardonnay, which is usually a perfect and popular breed in Hunter Valley, especially in Broke Fordwich. They have Four different ranges Offered here – Rusty's Running, Expression, Single Vineyard and Icon 7 2, the last three scored very well in Halliday Wine Companion.
Then let's take a look Winmark's Art Gallery Next door, it is filled with impressive works by local artists. However, art is not limited to the four walls of the gallery.
The winery's Sculpture Park However, with large-scale works from various artists Biological David BallIt was commissioned for the winery, and it was an obvious favorite.
This – winery, gallery, accommodation – is a Danish-born baby Karin Adcockhe founded Winmark in 2016. Karin’s consistent focus on detail and passion for creativity shines in cellar doors and galleries.
As for Villa Vino, with the front of the winery's vines, the carved yellow rock look stand hanging from the back, the tiny house is microscopic Winmark.
