Markets

Discover new treats and treasures each time you visit Handmade in the Hunter Markets. Located in the gardens of Sobel Wines, you can meet and talk with the artisans behind the creations. Check out the market schedule here.

You can also check out the Hunter Wine Country Markets held every Saturday, weather pending. They are located at De Bortoli Wines in Pokolbin and are pet-friendly. Please check the Facebook page for market updates.

We all want the opportunity to support small local businesses, and on Sunday 22 August 2021, from 10 am to 2 pm, you can do just that at the Homegrown Markets at Bimbadgen 2021.

Let’s celebrate the artisans and the things they create.
