You can see this in action at Many during their “Ultimate Margan Experience”. Over three decadent hours, guests benefit from tastings of yet-to-be-released wines, alongside a tour of the impressive one-hectare organic kitchen garden, which supplies a whopping 90 per cent of all produce used in Margan’s hatted restaurant. Afterwards, enjoy a dégustation lunch that allows diners to taste first-hand the “estate grown, estate made” commitment. Best of all, it’s completely dog-friendly — both inside and out.
Along the same road, and not far from Margan, is perhaps the jewel in the region’s pet-friendly accommodation crop: Barefoot at Broke. Cradled by Yengo National Park, this idyllic property may only be minutes from some of the area’s best wineries, yet its tranquil silence — punctuated only by birdsong — makes it seem a world away. Housing up to eight guests, the contemporary rental comes with everything that you and your pampered pooch could possibly need.
It’s here where my partner and I, and our pair of pups, find ourselves on our last evening. As we toast marshmallows over a crackling fire and gaze up into the star-speckled evening sky, we discuss how different this visit has been to previous ones in the Hunter. Taking our dogs meant that we were able to create an experience that was both bespoke and off the tourist trail, making a weekender in the Hunter not just good, but paw-fect.
