Step Aside Hunter Valley, Maitland Is Keen Competition As The Next Regional Foodie Destination

Central Maitland

With local makers and growers at the heart of the town, Maitland is stepping up the plate to become a foodie destination worthy of your next getaway. When Sydneysiders want to escape the bustling city, we often turn to regional towns in our NSW backyard and we have recently bumped Maitland to the top of our getaway list. Just a 2.5-hour drive northwest of Sydney CBD, this charming town is rich with history and has a thriving arts community and emerging food scene. Located a scenic half an hour drive from Wine Country (Hunter Valley), Maitland provides a similar foodie experience with farmers and winemakers at the core of the offering.
