A reunion brings together people who haven't shared a room in years, often across a spread of ages, so a Hunter Valley plan usually has two halves: something to do together that breaks the ice, and a room where everyone can sit, eat and hear the speeches.
For a class or family reunion of a few dozen, Commercial Hotel Morpeth has four function areas, from a 70-seat dining room to an 80-guest beer garden, with sit-down two-course menus From $40 per person for groups over 20. Amanda's on the Edge in Pokolbin seats up to 75 and has two private dining rooms, and Gather at Rydges Resort in Lovedale serves shared menus From $75 per person in GATHER North and GATHER West. Bigger year groups fit at Chateau Elan, whose Founders Room takes up to 330 for cocktails.
When people are travelling in for the weekend, Greystone Estate hires out its whole 10-acre Pokolbin property, with 15 king suites sleeping 32 and events for 125 seated. Hunter Concierge can arrange accommodation, catering and tours in one place, working across Pokolbin, Cessnock and Singleton.
