Hunter Valley Wine Region
Hunter Valley is Australia’s oldest wine producing region, its got heaps of wineries. I had a bit of trouble finding good information online, the wikikpedia page is brief. here is a very basic map of one if the wine areas The official tourism site is here. Your best bet is probably to give them a ring and drop into the visitors center for a chat and to pick up a proper map. The other option is to jump on a bus tour and have everything taken care of. I've never done this so I don't really know what's good, but search around, it looks like theres a few tour companies that do day trips out of Sydney, they'll even pick you up from your hotel.
