Tour description
Embrace the cosy charm of winter on this delightful three-day Yulefest escape through Muswellbrook and the wider Hunter region. With colourful street art, rich local history and welcoming country towns, the journey offers a lovely blend of culture, scenery and indulgence. Begin by uncovering Kurri Kurri’s vibrant murals, enjoying time in Singleton and exploring Australia’s military heritage at the Army Infantry Museum. In Muswellbrook, wander through the local art gallery, taste artisan cheeses at Hunter Belle, and savour the flavours of Pukara Estate’s award-winning oils and condiments — all before settling in for a festive Yulefest Dinner filled with warmth, good food and cheerful celebration.

Testimonials
Just a note of thanks for the excellent job Hans did yesterday. All of our group had a wonderful day and the Camden Valley Inn was a great venue. The staff there were very efficient and the meal portions just right for all. A most enjoyable day and thanks again. We did have one poor soul sleep in and so we numbered 37. Looking forward to our next tour with On Course in July.
