Planning a Hunter Valley Bucks Party

A bucks weekend in the Hunter is built around Pokolbin, and the activities here cluster on one stretch of Hermitage Road. Hunter Adventure Centre and Hunter Valley Horses share the same address, so a group can fill a full day without anyone needing to drive between bookings.

Hunter Adventure Centre is the obvious anchor. It puts together bucks packages around an eight-lane axe throwing range, archery and laser clay shooting, with guided off-road Segway rides that include training before you head out. The 4 Pines Brewery sits on the same site, which settles the question of where to go once the axes are put away.

For a slower half of the day, Hunter Valley Horses takes private groups of up to 15 riders through bush and vineyards, with sunrise and sunset times on offer. Rides start from $129 per person, and beginners are catered for, so the friend who has never been on a horse is not left out.

A simple two-day order for the group:

  • Day one, morning: axe throwing and archery at Hunter Adventure Centre
  • Day one, afternoon: a Segway ride through vineyard and bush tracks, then the brewery next door
  • Day two, early: a sunrise trail ride with Hunter Valley Horses
  • Day two, later: a horse-drawn carriage wine tour from the same property, or a low and slow barbecue class at Majors Lane Cooking School in Lovedale

To move the group between stops, Damien's Party Bus seats 30 with karaoke and room to bring your own drinks, Big Daddy Party Bus has buses for 15 to 45 from $1,200, and H2 Hunter Hummers takes 15 in a stretch Hummer from $550 per hour.
