NOTE: I am not a wine enthusiast so this review might be slightly biased This was part of the winery tour (Two Fat Blokes Gourmet Tour) that my partner and I signed up for. Unlike most other estates, Gundog grows its graphes in Canberra, not Hunter Valley. Therefore, it is a relatively small compound. There are two section within the cellar door. One section consists of a big dining table and a counter (for wine tasting), while the other side consists of a "cafe" with cakes/ pastries and food (e.g honey comb in a jar/ sauces / jams) for sale. Gundog's wine tasting list is also not as long as other estates but some of them are pretty good ! This estate was, in fact, my favourite part of the winery tour because of the platter which they served to compliment with their wines. The platter consisted of three different of cheese (Beer / Blue Cheese and Gruyere) , dried grapes, dates, smoked meat and crackers. Everything tasted sooooooooo good !! My partner and I could not stop eating and almost forgotten about the wines ! I could definitely recommend this place! Stop by for a cuppa and snacks or head straight to the cellar door for some wine! two thumbs up :) read more

See all

The experience at the Gundog Estate cellar door is intimate, welcoming and downright fun. The staff are engaging and obviously encouraged to have fun. Better still, the wines are fabulous and it would be difficult to walk out without a few bottles under your arm. We started our wine tasting day here not realizing that for us we had started at the top as the majority of the other estates were a hollow crowded affair. This encouraged us to return the following day to pick up a box of the Wild Semillon and were lucky enough to meet and chat with the winemaker. Put this at the top of your list. read more
