Wine House Hunter Valley

Amazing Wine Tasting with the New Era Print Solutions Team @ Wine House Hunter Valley! Seriously check out Wine House in the Hunter Valley. Great atmosphere and Team!

Not really an experience, they have a collection of new wines mostly 1 year old, they don’t know much about the wines and get you to read a book. The platter is about $10 worth of nibbles and they give you $30 to spend on tasting which is about $3-5 per drink. Lovely staff but just not like the other wineries taste experiences.

We loved the Icon Tasting! It was a great selection of varied wines from local, family owned winemakers. Karan was wonderful and the charcuterie plate was delicious. Highly recommend.

My partner and I visited the Wine House and were not disappointed. From the time we walked in, we were made welcomed by Adam and Phoebe who showed us around and set us up for some wine tasting and a bite to eat. They were so down to earth knowledgeable, funny and engaging. We walked away with a few of our favourite wines 🍷 and an enjoyable experience. While we were there, work was being done outside in the gardens to plant a variety of Indigenous bush tucker plants.. what a fantastic idea! We will definitely be coming back and letting our friends know about this place! Thank you to Adam and Phoebe for making our visit a memorable one ❤️ see you next time :)

Wine tasting was absolutely phenomenal, lovely views of the lake, and such great service! Our server was very knowledgeable about the wines and tailored our experience accordingly. Would 100% recommend, thank you so much! Incredible wine for incredible value

Great wine tasting hosted by Adam. His knowledge and passion for wine were exceptional. He recommended wine we would usually not like and we ended up buying a bottle we loved it so much! Definitely recommend to come here for a relaxed but informative wine tasting.

Wine House has become a staple for us to visit every year. There’s always excellent and interesting wines to taste. Karan was fantastic and made the whole experience great fun.

Nice place to stop for a bit of DIY wine tasting. You get provided with the glasses and a book to read up on what wines are available, you have a card to spend $30 on tastings from the machine. Some of the best wines from The hunter included in the tastings. You can then grab a glass or bottle of wine and sit outside and enjoy the lovely quiet bush scenery. We also ordered a cheese platter to go with our wines 🙂

In terms of just wines, this is my favourite place in the Hunter (after 2 visits). In terms of "whole experience", the tasting at Scarborough might just take it by having food, a more "theatrical" tasting, and a slightly more impressive location. The idea is pretty simple: as per the name, small winemakers doing interesting things are stocked. And there is a lot of choice. Nothing I tasted was boring or mainstream, one of the semillons might be the closest but its nose of butter pastry and jackfruit was definitely quite a departure from the norm of grassy passion fruit. I did not know people did Barbera or Sangiovese in the Hunter, but they do and it's glorious. And for once the people selling the wine know about the wine. The philosophy of the house is that everybody has different tastes and everything they stock is good, so they shy from making strong recommendations and encourage you to try things you do not recognise. It's a good idea especially with that list. Just schedule a chunk of time, and explore and let your tastes and the experienced staff guide you. I noted Epicure, the cafe next door, has lovely outdoor seating shielded from the horror that is Roche (Tempus Two etc.) by a thick row of trees well padded with rushes. It's just off the busiest street but completely quiet with only the rustling of gums and the odd water bird in courtship. I've saved the address for our next trip, and it will be tough for other wineries to compete for my luggage space with what's on offer here.
