- Children – A cold non-alcoholic beverage is provided with an activity booklet and colouring pencils. *Under 18’s are not allowed to consume alcohol.
Your host will give you hints and tips to help you identify the key characteristics of a wine so you can judge each wine for yourself. By the end of your Seated Wine Tasting, you’ll be able to name your likes and dislikes, so you can find the Ivanhoe wine you love.
A Tasting is a perfect introduction to Ivanhoe’s wines and an ideal addition to your itinerary if you have a few cellar doors to visit. These newfound wine tasting skills will come in handy as you visit other cellar doors during your visit to Pokolbin and the Hunter Valley.

We enjoyed the various nice red wines.
Book and we would ask for Danny.
The soft red and Ivanhoe Shiraz my favourites, that I bought them both, plus the bubbly moscato. I highly recommend Ivanhoe and rank it as my favourite winery out of the three locations we visited.
I reject the 1 star review that was recently posted. This post is not about Ivanhoe and I genuinely guarantee that if you visit Ivanhoe wines you will have one of the best wine experiences in the Hunter Valley.
The experience overall was really pleasant with great views across the vineyards and mountains.
The wines too were fantastic with wide array of flavours. A perfect little treat for anyone wanting to experience what Hunter Valley is known for, whether you’re an experienced wine taster or beginners like us!
Thank you to Danny for the humour and education! You made our stay in Hunter Valley that extra bit special!

Ivanhoe is a beautiful vineyard, and Danny was an fantastic host.
The view and the wines accompany each other, but the passion and banter from Danny made our experience exceptional. Thank you Danny, we will be back. From Natalie, Jacqui and the boys!
Views and wines were outstanding, but the service provided by Danny made the tasting even better. We visited five wineries and Ivanhoe was the best one by far thanks to the gentleman who looked after us.
Beautiful setting. Highly recommend visiting when you’re at the Hunter. Lewis thank you also, from the time we spoke on the phone we were looking forward to our wine tasting experience and you made us feel welcome by greeting us at the door.
The Tawny is not available for tasting, which is disappointing.
The sculptures are wonderful though, and our host was professional and enthusiastic.
Danny from Sunderland was our waiter and he was great. A brilliant outgoing personality whilst also incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He made the whole tasting fun while still giving us plenty of insight into the wines.
Highly recommend the premium tasting — we’ll definitely be back!
Certainly would recommend this winery.
Thanks Danny.
Huge shoutout to Lewis and the incredible staff who make every tasting a storytelling experience. You’ve spoiled us—no other vineyard compares.
Looking forward to being back at the cellar door soon.
Highly, highly recommended!

Over the years we’ve loved bringing friends and family for members tastings, sharing beautiful wines, cheese plates, and that stunning view that never fails to impress. Some of our favourite memories have been made on the Ivanhoe verandah.
We’ve always been looked after by knowledgeable and genuinely passionate staff whose expertise has helped grow our own love of great wine. Whenever we book a tasting with guests, we do so with full confidence that the experience will be outstanding.
Our most recent visit was no exception. On a warm and very busy day for the team, we had booked ahead for a members tasting. It had been a few years since our last visit (time really does fly!), and it was lovely to see the updates around the vineyard—paired with the familiar beauty of that iconic scenery.
We were looked after by Danny, whose vivacious personality, deep knowledge, and effortless ability to make everyone feel welcome truly made the day special. His enthusiasm and attention to detail elevated the whole experience for us and our guests.
We’ll be back again with our next visitors, knowing without a doubt that we’ll be wonderfully cared for and that the experience will be unforgettable.
Danny, who looked after us, was super friendly and took the time to explain everything, which made the experience even better. We never felt rushed and really enjoyed just sitting, tasting, and chatting.
We’ll definitely be back and will be bringing our friends and guests next time. Highly recommend this place!

The hunter to try new wines and have a delicious cheese board of local delights, despite already getting the wines delivered to our door throughout the year. We took our children again this year and Danny and the team very accommodating and offered them a drink and colouring in to do. The kids love exploring the sculpture garden and looking for the geese. We love the generous serves and talking to
The staff about the beautiful wines they make. Our favourite is the chambourcin!
The winery itself boasts stunning views, creating the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of great wine and relaxation. We also enjoyed sampling some delicious local cheeses, which paired beautifully with the wines.
We loved the experience so much that we purchased several lovely bottles to enjoy over summer.
Highly, highly recommend a visit to Ivanhoe Wines Pokolbin.
Great wine. The tasting cost $15 for 6 wine.
I came on Monday afternoon, so i am the only one there at that time, but overall it was a very great experience.
Visiting the Hunter Valley from Melbourne. Ivanhoe has a great reputation and this was my first visit there.
We were welcomed and hosted by Natalie who made it a really enjoyable experience for our group of 6. Lovely environment and outlook. An excellent selection of wines catering for all tastes. Easy ordering.
Thanks to Nat and the Ivanhoe team.
Can't wait to come back. Fantastic afternoon.
Had another great experience approx 3 months ago with Danny who was great and would definitely recommend him for your wine tasting experience! Lots of laughs and also professional! Will definitely ask for him on our next visit! See you again soon Danny!
Very professional and knows exactly what you want. Told him what we usually drink and he opened to the door to new experiences, and now I don’t think we can look back.
100% would recommend with the best views.
