The best activities in Australia, according to the experts: The 50 has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Henschke comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Hunter Valley and Keyneton.

  1. The Hill of Grace vineyard was planted by a Silesian settler over 150 years ago, named for the Lutheran church peering down at its twisted old vines. This Eden Valley winery has been in the same family for six generations, and tastings are personally hosted by them, portraits of ancestors watching from the walls. Henschke holds a spot on the World's 50 Best Vineyards list, which feels about right for a place still farming the ground its great-great-grandparents cleared.

  2. The awards


  3. An old-school Hunter Valley estate that has been shaping Australian Semillon longer than most wineries have existed, Tyrrell's offers structured tastings from a casual introduction to the range all the way up to vertical deep-dives on their flagship VAT 1. The Sacred Sites experience takes you through the actual vineyard blocks before you taste what came out of them. Bookings are essential, and the family occasionally shows up, which is either charming or slightly terrifying depending on your threshold.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
