What to expect
Your guide will walk you through several wines, explaining their characteristics and provenance across the tasting. You'll taste glasses of estate selections whilst learning what makes Hunter Valley distinctive. Afterwards, a proper ploughman's spread arrives—bread, cheese, cold meats, pickles—designed to complement what you've just tasted. Grab your plate and find a seat on the balcony overlooking rows of vines, or stretch out on the patio. The pace is leisurely; there's no rush to move on.
