Stay tuned for September 2025!
This year's A Little Bit of Broke has been 20 years in the making and promises to be the biggest - and best - yet. The renowned festival-style weekend is once again encouraging visitors to divert their attention from the more familiar Pokolbin, at least for a weekend, and instead explore the lesser-traveled wine trail in the Broke Fordwich region of the Hunter Valley. Here, you have the opportunity to taste wine, savor local food and farm-gate produce, interact with winemakers and artisans, and partake in a curated lineup of distinctive Hunter Valley experiences.
