What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Piggs Peake Winery for its exceptional wines and beautiful, rustic grounds, making it a standout destination in the Hunter Valley. While many highlight the generous tasting experiences and the charm of the gardens, some reviews mention that the service can occasionally feel rushed or less hospitable during busy periods.
"We were a group of 7 people and we did the full wine tasting. Totally fine, great wine but the service was not hospitable. We were served by Clint and while we understand it was quite busy, he would just pour the wines, briefly explain and leave quickly. If we tried to ask questions, his answers were short or he would leave in the middle of us asking it. We’ve been to other wineries before where the sommelier would actually take the time to talk to us even if it was brief to get to others but we just felt the service here was cold.
Great wines, great location, server was so-so."

I've enthusiastically shared their wines with countless friends, all of whom have become fans. The recent upgrades to the winery are stunning. The tasting area is open, spacious, and rustic, creating a real wine tasting atmosphere to enjoy their delicious wines. I highly recommend a visit to Piggs Peake for a fantastic wine experience, and the side restaurant, Yellow Billy, is also a great place to eat."
