Great wine tasting expereience Had a great wine tasting experience with Marti at Brokenwood - as we are members of their wine club we were put in the private tasting room which was lovely

Will be requesting her services for sure next time - thanks Marti!!

@Brokenwood

Brokenwood Wines features a stunning 1,400-square-meter cellar door complex that perfectly balances a high-end wine tasting experience with an immersive layout that connects indoor and outdoor environments seamlessly.

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!

Wine tasting experience James was an excellent! We completed a wine tasting experience, excellent knowledge and personality who listened and showed us the appropriate wine choices.

Thank you Amy Hi Amy, thank you so much! Thanks to you, I got to taste some amazing wines. I’d love to come back and visit again next time. I really appreciate all your help!

We booked a wine tasting at Brokenwood Wines and had an absolutely fantastic time. Our host, Amy, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire session. She guided us through the selection with expertise, sharing fascinating insights about the wines that really elevated the experience. Her personal recommendations were spot-on and incredibly helpful in choosing our favorites. Fantastic service, beautiful wines, and great atmosphere—highly recommend asking for Amy if you visit!

We had an incredible visit to Brokenwood Wines! A massive shoutout to Amy, who looked after us during our tasting. She was an absolute legend—so lovely, welcoming, and she explained the stories behind each wine beautifully without being overly complicated. As for the wines themselves, almost everything we tried was incredibly smooth and exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the Hunter area!

Give him a raiseee James has been absolutely phenomenal!! My sister is visiting from the UK and I came with my boyfriend, all here for the first time, and I am so please with his service. His knowledge and articulation of wines is commendable. Will be definitely be coming back and with my Mum who will visiting shortly and would be an honour to have James to host us again!

Thank you James!!!

P.s give him a raise :p

THE Hunter Valley Experience If you only have time for one cellar door experience in the Hunter Valley, allow me to recommend Brokenwood. Aside from the beautiful facility, you can be confident that you made the right choice, as Halladay recently awarded them as the best vineyard in all of Australia. The wines certainly live up to the reputation.
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!

Wonderful Brokenwood Such a fabulous experience. We were helped by Amy who knows her wines but most importantly, made us all feel so welcome. It’s really so lovely to have someone who clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful vineyard.

This was my 3rd visit to Brokenwood over the years and this time was with family from overseas.

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)

Brokenwood Wines delivers a truly professional tasting experience. The host is exceptionally knowledgeable, guiding you through the wines with confidence and insight. The selection is outstanding, featuring a range of high quality wines that showcase both variety and excellence. A must visit for any wine enthusiast.

We had an amazing lunch at The Wood, new chef is very good, wine was fabulous as always. The service was great and super friendly and we had such a lovely afternoon.
Special thanks to Liam who was so welcoming and boxed up and brilliant wines with love.

Great winery Had a great visit to Brokenwood. The place itself is impressive with a restaurant, viewing gallery and outdoor terrace. James was a great guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Must do tasting 5/5 Martell was an amazing host and super informative, made the tasting really enjoyable

Absolutely amazing experience at Brokenwood Wines! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. The wine tasting was beautifully curated, with each wine explained in detail, making it both enjoyable and educational.
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!

Very impressive cellar door Very impressive Cellar Door and Restaurant! I remember the old tasting room with fond memories but times move on and it's such a great layout to do a wine tasting! My only gripe is that the cost of wines seems to have gone up over the past year or so.

Good for Beginners Beautiful facility, with a nice-looking restaurant (though we did not partake).

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.

Expert wine tasting experience for non-experts!! We visited Brokenwood on my birthday for their $25pp wine tasting experience and really enjoyed ourselves! James took time to explain each wine in detail and as it was not a busy day the experience lasted about 75mins and we tasted 13 wines in all. We would recommend.

Visit every chance you have Amazing staff, amazing wine, fantastic food

Amazing We had the best time at Brokenwood, Xaviera was fabulous and super knowledgeable.

Fabulous tasting James was an excellent guide. The wine samples very good

It’s been nearly a year since my visit last April, but the memory of Brokenwood remains vivid. During a spontaneous stop, I asked an AI for a gift recommendation, which suggested a "Shiraz." I walked up to the counter and confidently ordered a bottle, not realizing I was asking for the crown jewel of the estate.
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!

These are some of the best wines in the area, with a huge selection from not only Hunter Valley, but also other regions in Australia, as they source fruit from much of southeastern Australia. It’s a great tasting experience, since they have many varieties. Their Semillon one of the best, very fruity and acidic. Definitely one to justify a visit by itself!

Wine tasting was amazing, the new cellar door is very cleverly designed with the 4 circular bars. We were close enough to chat with other guests without feeling cramped.

Tasting list was solid, something for everyone. Paddy was brilliant, funny and interesting to talk to.

We did the tasting and Lauren did a great job looking after us! Such an enjoyable experience, and worth the tasting fee!
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!

Nice spot for lunch, easy to access and quick service. The food was good for us, we had 3 small plates and 2 wines. Nice atmosphere outside, a fine sprinkler was activated which was pleasant as it was a warm day. Good views as well. Didn't have time for the wine tasting but looked organised & popular, will be back to try the restaurant which wasn't opened.

We found Brokenwood Wines on Google mainly because it showed they had Tesla charging, which made it a perfect stop for our trip, but it turned out to be so much more than just a charging stop.

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🍷🥩✨

We had a good experience, but I would say if short on time or like a more local vibe skip this one. I’ve heard their restaurant is amazing, but we didn’t try. More busy but also more commercial. Everyone was so nice - no complaints my husband and I enjoy more of a homey vibe. I will say if need a quick one to visit they are a lot faster with their tastings than the others

This was the last of the wineries on our stop and we were suitably impressed - the grandeur and the feel of the cellar door experience was very different to any we had done that day.
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.

Simply awesome! The Match experience was absolutely wonderful — the wine and food pairings were exceptional, to the point where we enjoyed every single wine we tasted. Liam, who guided us through the session, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We were truly impressed!

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!

Xaviera is Queen of the Tasting Pods! Xaviera is the absolute queen of the pods! What a delight to spend time with her. She looked after us so well and was so knowledgeable of all the wines in our flight. We joined the Cru Club and will be back again soon. Thank you!

So detailed! Xavi was SO friendly and so knowledgeable! We were lucky enough to make some friends too! Best wine tasting we've been on so far.

Xavi was wonderful!! Excellent wine tasting, Xavi was amazing and so charismatic and full of knowledge, had an excellent time learning about the local wines

Dined for lunch on a weekday last week.

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.

Stunning Cellar Door Stunning cellar door that's a must visit if you come to the Hunter! We tend to go to smaller, boutique wineries but it's always good to check out one of the big brands on the region. The tasting room is spectacular, and we the on-site restaurant was a real bonus as we managed to sneak in without a booking. Worth checking out if you are visiting.

Top drop A last minute booking - we were looked after royally and treated to an amazing tasting with delicious cheese platter too. Consistently high service and fabulous wines.

Good to try the wine tasting, but very expensive wines We did the $20 for 3 wines tasting. My partner and I chose different wines, so we had 6 wines to taste. Some were good and some not. The wine bottles are more on the expensive side, and we did not purchase any.

We had the pleasure of dining at Brokenwood Wines over the long weekend.

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!

We had lunch at the brokenwood restaurant. Very nice welcoming from the staff that offered us different options to eat. Very attentive staff including the chef in the kitchen. The waitress was very kind and professional. She let us enjoying our food with no rush. The portion were generous and very tasty from the appetisers to the dessert. You could tell the high quality products use. Even the olive oil…
Highly recommend it if you’re around hunter valley. 🍷

Outstanding ..
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

We became members of Brokenwood after a fantastic wine tasting in January with Liam, who was amazing and introduced us to some beautiful wines. This past weekend, we returned to the Hunter and, even without a booking, were warmly accommodated. To our delight, Liam was there again and remembered us—it felt like catching up with an old friend! He was incredibly attentive, asking about our wine preferences and even securing us a lunch reservation at The Wood, the restaurant inside Brokenwood.

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!

We had the most amazing lunch & wine tasting at Brokenwood Wines today, we had our Lab with us & they couldn’t have been more accommodating.
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🐾💕

We have been here twice and both times have been wonderful. The food is amazing. Highly recommend the steak tartare. We did a wine tasting session after our meal. The tasting was led by James. James was fantastic and very knowledgeable. It was a really pleasant experience.

Great place to visit, Friendly team. Great venue, and very friendly team. James took us through a range of wines catered to our preferences. Options to join wine club, but no pushy sales push.
Overall great visit and will be back.

Wine Tasting Our Sommelier was amazing! Very nice and attentive and helped us out with our tasting! All of the wines were lovely with a great mixture of whites and reds.
