Cellar Door Wine Tasting Experience

Relax indoors amongst cosy surrounds within our 'old winery' building, or on our picturesque Wine Deck to take in the country gardens and unique location within the Hunter Valley.

Join one of our excellent Cellar Door hosts, who will tailor each tasting to find your preference amongst our Varietal, Stockhausen & Limited Release Ranges. Each tasting includes a small plate of local cheese and crackers, however we recommend ordering a cheese or charcuterie platter from our Osteria to make this the perfect experience.
