Travellers Choice has chosen one of Australia's oldest wine regions to host its 2012 Annual Shareholders' Conference, with members gathering at the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley from November 2-4.

A two-hour drive from Sydney, the award-winning resort is set against the backdrop of the Brokenback Range and surrounded by lush vineyards and expansive grounds. As well as purpose-built conference facilities, guests can relax on an 18-hole golf course, enjoy a treatment at the Tea Tree Spa or unwind in the resort's spacious pool.

More than 200 delegates from across Australia are expected to attend the 35th Annual Shareholders’ Conference, which will include the group's Annual General Meeting and the presentation of its Gold, Silver and Bronze Choice Awards.

Further details on the 2012 conference program will be released later this month.
