"The hallmark of Pepper Bridge is elegance. Swiss-born winemaker Jean-Francois Pellet brings Old World refinement to his estate-grown Bordeaux-style wines — he prizes subtlety over boldness. The tasting room isn’t fancy or fussy, but there’s an understated classiness to it. The highlight is the back patio, where you can sample cabernet sauvignon while soaking in a gorgeous view of the valley and the Blue Mountains. If you like it here, also check out Amavi Cellars, under the same ownership and located a few minutes away." - Matthew Lombardi
