Wollombi is a small village surrounded by farms and boutique wineries in the Hunter Valley Region, within 29 kilometres southwest of Cessnock and 128 km north of Sydney. By the 1870’s, soon after the first white settlement arrived to the area, a colonial village was build and in a few years it had a court house, police force, two churches, a school, several inns, general stores, a butcher, a blacksmith, a wagon builder, a harness maker and local farmers parked their horse drawn wagons by the road to sell fresh produce to local residents. Nowadays, no much has changed in this Historical Village and local Wollombi Market Farmers and craft makers are still congregating around the village to sell fresh produce, gourmet food, wine and handicraft to the locals and visitors. .
