Marti was so pleasant and knowledgeable regarding the wines - we ended up purchasing more than expected!
Will be requesting her services for sure next time - thanks Marti!!
Highly recommend to everyone
Highly recommended!
We took 2 hours travel from Sydney for this lunch and absolutely worthwhile
@Brokenwood
We booked the Standard Flight Tasting Experience and were seated at the signature circular wooden tasting pods, which allowed for an intimate and highly interactive session with our host.
The tasting included a guided flight of 7 premium varietal and single-vineyard wines, ranging from Semillon and Rosato to Chardonnay and Shiraz.
Our host was incredibly hospitable and knowledgeable. Since we visited on a Monday afternoon, we were lucky enough to enjoy an extended, one-on-one session with the wine educator. Highly recommended!
Thank you James!!!
P.s give him a raise :p
Personally, my experience was unforgettable, as i was warmly greeted by Ashley. She put me in the care of Amy, who could not have been a better representative of Brokenwood, and the Hunter Valley in general. She was so knowledgeable and giving with information.
Cheers!
I see why they won Cellar door of the year 2025, great hospitality from arrival to departure, the service during our LONG lunch was great from Giselle. The wine tasty with Liam was very fun and informative, and the special behind the scenes tour capped off a fantastic day.
Thank you to Geoff and the team at Brokenwood.
(Special mention - “Indigo” Pino Noir and the 1899 Old Vines Vinyard Semillon)
Special thanks to Liam who was so welcoming and boxed up and brilliant wines with love.
A special thank you to Liam, who explained everything so clearly and passionately. He made the whole experience even better with his friendly approach and deep knowledge of the wines.
The setting is stunning—modern, spacious, and perfect for a relaxing day in Hunter Valley. The wines themselves were exceptional, especially the Shiraz and Semillon—definitely some of the best we’ve had.
Highly recommend visiting whether you’re a wine lover or just looking for a great day out. We’ll definitely be back!
From a wine tasting standpoint, well-suited to beginners and those who do not know much about wine.
For those more experienced - disappointing. Regurgitated script, little room for exploring in more detail when booking, and altogether felt more commercial than anything. had been very much looking forward to visiting as have been a fan of the wines, but the experience was underwhelming. Learnt almost nothing, and left with a lesser impression of the wines than before I came.
So all in all as a pleasant diversion for the novice - recommended. For any serious connoisseur, unfortunately I’d suggest a pass.
The staff looked at me with a hint of surprise, asking if I was sure. I nodded, only to realize after the transaction that I had purchased the legendary 2022 Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz.
Due to a credit card issue, I couldn’t process a refund. However, the cellar door manager was incredibly gracious and warm. He turned my initial "sticker shock" into a moment of genuine connection, explaining that this flagship wine is a treasure meant to be shared with someone special during a significant life milestone.
His kindness and professional integrity left a lasting impression on me. I didn't just leave with a world-class bottle of wine; I left with a story I’ll tell for years. Thank you, Brokenwood, for your hospitality and for making this "beautiful mistake" the highlight of my Hunter Valley trip!
Tasting list was solid, something for everyone. Paddy was brilliant, funny and interesting to talk to.
Recommend making a booking before turning up, and I look forward to the Cru Club member experience after I joined up at the end of my tasting!
We arrived as a large group of 15, and the team was incredibly accommodating. They kindly gave us a private dining room, which was such a lovely surprise and made the whole experience feel special and relaxed, especially with kids in the group.
We ordered Wagyu steaks, plenty of wines (of course!), lots of kids meals, and a generous spread of sides and salads. Everything was beautifully cooked, well presented, and absolutely delicious. The quality of the food and the consistency across such a big order really impressed us.
From the service to the food to the overall atmosphere, it was a fantastic dining experience for all ages. We all had an amazing time and would happily return, highly recommended for groups, families, and anyone visiting the Hunter Valley🍷🥩✨
Our server, Lauren, was amazing! We had expressed that we weren’t enjoying the Chardonnays that we had tried that day, so asked to swap it out with something else and before we knew it, we had a completely different and customised wine tasting! So accomodating, warm, funny and attuned to what we were after.
We walked away with something completely different for all of us - the Sticky Wicket desert wine and wanted to bring Lauren home with us.
Thank you Lauren for making our cellar door experience so wonderful.
I have to add to my review after heading to lunch right after the Match experience. The service here is on another level! We opted for the set lunch and mentioned only that we don’t eat beef, but when the chef found out that I also don’t take lamb, he was incredibly accommodating and kindly swapped my dish for fish instead. THANK YOU CHEF TRAVIS!!!
The staff here are just amazing! Your warmth, friendliness, and hospitality are what make us want to come back again. We are so impressed and grateful for such a memorable experience!
I am peeved that our steak was served 5-10mins after our small plates/starters which included cold raw fish. We were not done with our starters when the meat were served. Steak would obviously turn cold by the time we started eating and the table was cluttered too.
We feedback to the lady staff who told us we did not indicate our preference when she asked. I do not recall any such question asked to the same effect.
Restaurant was far from full capacity since it’s a rainy weekday lunch. Kitchen was open kitchen so I’m not sure why the chef also thought it’s ok to fire up my steak in a hurry.
Not sure if this is a place I want to dine in when I’m just trying to enjoy myself in the vibes of Hunter Valley.
The food was absolutely delicious!
Myself and a few others did the wine pairings and I have to say, some of the most delicious wines I’ve ever tasted!
Will be buying wine from Brokenwood shortly!
Highly recommend for groups in the Hunter!
Highly recommend it if you’re around hunter valley. 🍷
Such a premium experience.
And ow my goodness - Food has been outstanding ..
Not overly creative in a good way.
Traditional meals done Delicious ..
And the wine range has been so vast and varied. Very impressive
After an already incredible tasting, our lunch was the perfect next step in our experience. We sat at a beautiful table overlooking the oak barrels and enjoyed the “Feed Me” menu with paired wines. Every dish was a standout, with the gnocchi being an absolute highlight—I highly recommend it! The steak and wine pairings were also perfection. We were so grateful when Chef Sean came out to chat with us, giving us a chance to compliment him and learn more about the food.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we are so thankful to be members of such a stunning estate!
Liam looked after us so well, found us a quiet table just so we could have lunch with our dog too.
We were passing through so we wouldn’t have been able to have lunch otherwise.
The wines & food were soo good! We became members & came away with our favorite wines.
Thanks again to Liam & the girls for making such a fuss too of our lovely dog, Millie🐾💕
Overall great visit and will be back.
The wines were fantastic. Thank you for accommodating us.
