"We stopped in this lovely little place after having breakfast at The Deck. We weren’t really up to another tasting but certainly going to make sure we do on our next journey to the Hunter Valley. This place looks amazing and they have it well set up and to cater for large groups. It has a fantastic feel about it and they have atmosphere is just what you need to just sit back and relax with your favourite wine. I would definitely recommend going here for a function or with a small group for a tasting."

"We travelled from Sydney to the Hunter Valley for a hot air balloon experience, which was incredible, but the true highlight of our trip was our visit here for a wine tasting. We were fortunate to be served by Chanel, who was simply outstanding. Her warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the wines made the entire experience unforgettable. Chanel’s genuine enthusiasm and engaging personality elevated the tasting to another level. She is an absolute credit to the team, and we can’t recommend both this venue — and Chanel herself — highly enough."
