METHOD

If you’ve not yet paid a visit to Wine House, you’re missing out on a great experience.  Not only can you taste wines from a variety of boutique Hunter winemakers in their cellar door, you can dine in the newly refurbished wine lounge or even book ahead for one of Wine House’s “experiences”.

Treat yourself to a tasting at Comyns and Co’s brand new cellar door. Offering a delightful range of Hunter Valley wines, you can join Scott and Missy Comyns for an informative tasting around the bar, gathered around a table or while relaxing in the comfy lounge area; the choice is yours.

We had the pleasure of an afternoon tasting on a warm summer day and as such our focus was on the whites and rose and we’d have to say, there was not a disappointing wine among them.

Enjoy this delicious classic tiramisu with a wonderful Christmas twist.

HOLY SMOKES people, get yourselves to this great new Pokolbin hot spot, Yellow Billy, a restaurant that really took us by surprise, it was a very pleasant surprise at that!

The unique flavours are produced with the use of a purpose-built open fire/smoke house which produces tender, juicy meats with a fantastic smokiness that is absolutely delicious.

A visit to the Piggs Peake winery is a must when you’re next visiting the Hunter Valley.  The awesome staff at the cellar door offer a unique tasting experience, showcasing what can only be described as a huge array of wines.  From sparkling wines to ports and luscious dessert wines, there is certainly a wine for every palate.

Many of the team hosting your tasting experience are also involved in the winemaking process so not only will your tasting be fun it will certainly be informative. 

Broke Estate Vineyard, located in the beautiful Broke Forwich region of the Hunter Valley, is a labour of love for the Tolson family, who produce a boutique range of wines they are proud to introduce you to.

The 2016 vintage was the first in many years and was the result of years of dedication and hard work for Max, his family and many of their friends!  The vines were slowly re-established and produced small yields of Shiraz, Barbera and Chardonnay grapes which were harvested, mostly by hand.
