Staying at the stunning Segenhoe Inn Bed & Breakfast, all to ourselves, we’ll visit the heart of Australian thoroughbred breeding, the Hunter Valley, to visit all the leading studs in NSW. With over 50 studs scattered throughout the beautiful Hunter Valley, we’ll visit some of the best including Darley, Coolmore, Vinery, Widden, Arrowfield, Newgate and Yarraman Park. Mixed amongst the studs are some fantastic wineries as well, and we’ll be sure to drop in for a drink or two.
