Beautiful location, great wine and lovely people. Big vibe on the dog, and an awesome view nestled in a remote location.

I cannot possible recommend this cellar door more! Their Sweet Mandala is great and easy to drink,…read moretheir cab sav is just awesome and smooth! Uses more traditional method to make wine, with the owner being a chemist himself basically constantly trying new mixes, you just constantly get new surprises from them! Honestly, know you won't believe me just by reading. Go try it yourself! Love it that they will walk through all wine when you go for the free tasting/sampling at their estate!

I visited a total of three wineries on my day trip to Hunter Valley, and this one was probably my…read morefavorite. The space is beautiful, with an open and airy tasting room overlooking the vast vineyard (one of the few wineries in the area that grows its own grapes). There's a little something different about the wines here--the flavors are something of their own. I brought back a bottle of their oaked semillon, which was light and refreshing and stored in California Oak barrels (I'd get the same thing back here in CA if I could, but you certainly don't see a lot of semillon around here), as well as a bottle of their shiraz, which had a peppery kick to it. The lady who led us through the tastings (we had come with a tour group) was very sweet and seemed to love her job. We ended our visit with a tour of the wine cellar and the lovely outdoor area of the building, which reminded me of being in Tuscany but is apparently modeled after Southern Spain. I loved all the little details of the decor. Definitely worth stopping at!

I came here for a glass of wine after having a catch up dinner with my friend and her wife at…read moreKensington Street Social down the road. Well, I thought I was going to have a glass but I ended up getting a tasting flight because it was so tempting. They offer wine by the glass, bottle, flight or you can do a tasting at the bar. It was a brilliant experience. The staff were really nice - pleasant, knowledgeable on product offerings and really relaxed. I got the 'come to the dark side' flight, which was all reds. I asked her to pour me a little less because I was driving and it comes out around 2 glasses in total. I asked her to pour me half of each and pour a full one of 'the best one.' After a long deliberation (she told me) she poured the shiraz as the full glass. I had always thought I didn't like shiraz. Well I was wrong - now I do! I will always remember that this was the place that taught me. My friend ordered a different flight that had whites and reds, and also a cheese pairing for the flight - they match each cheese to a wine. I tried all of hers and all her cheeses. Really liked the majority even though bubbles and certain types of white aren't as much my jam. Really great place and good value for money. A nice, classy experience without being intimidating or pretentious. I'd love to come back here again - and next time I'd make sure I wasn't driving. IT'S ON!!

If you don't have time to go out to wine country this place makes up for it. They pick out great…read morewines from multiple countries as well as many from all regions of Australia. They have generous pours and a large cheese selection to go with. It is a great space and if you are going to spice alley you could always pick up a bottle and take it with. They have lots of bottles under 25 aud to pick from. I went with a red wine flight and enjoyed most of them!
