Salsa & Camping Getaway at Hunter Valley
19/20 May 2012

 BVD's 2nd Salsa Tour to Hunter Valley

Last time, more than 30 people came to our Sunday getaway at the beautiful Somerville Winery at Broke in the Hunter Valley. We all had an an amazing time.

It was so much fun - the venue was great for our dance workshop, and the quality of both the local wine and the lamb for our South American BBQ was outstanding. Pascuale Barbalace was a very generous host and the whole experience impressed us so much that we want to do it again this month. This time we're making it for both days of the weekend, with overnight camping (BYO tent, or you can stay at a B & B if you're not a camper). We can then explore much more of this beautiful region.

For non-campers, overnight accommodation is available nearby - please make your own arrangements. For information on nearby accomodation, try Wotif.com. A limited number of places are available to stay at the Somerville Farmhouse.

Update: We have extended the RSVP date until 16th May to give you more time to make your arrangements. We need to confirm numbers by this date to order food etc.
