Hopes new wine country alliance will end to ‘backyard politics’

Key stakeholders have agreed to unite for the development of Hunter Valley wine country after years of turbulence. The Hunter Valley Wine and Tourism Alliance will bring together Cessnock and Singleton councils, as well as the Hunter Valley Wine and Tourism Association. Both councils have this week agreed in principle to the formation of the alliance, that aims to promote a “more holistic and harmonic collaboration” between members.
