I went classic wine tasting Yesterday, 19th April, Saturday at 2pm. It was busy with the homemade market outside, they were Absolutely Understuff. I Understand the situation, however, reason why I am posting this is we were treated so bad by them. Until we were served, it took nearly 30min even though we booked, one gentleman with white hair was taking care of the table from before,he was totally ignoring new customers as we were invisible! Another young gentleman kept taking new customers, no one took care of us nicely. It was probably because we looked younger than other customers. I was really disappointed by their attitude, judging by book of cover. Later, they tried to serve us after the rush, but we were almost pissed by them, they were totally ignoring us for long time, needed to wait standing so long......... I recommend NOT to go there in busy time, we will probably never go back even though their wine was nicee. It was saying on website that it takes approx 30min, but we took 90min since we were waiting most of the time at the counter.The experience there Absolutely ruined our vacation, our first time here, Hunter Valley

This place is a real gem in the Hunter Valley!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We were surprisingly amazed by the service and quality of the wines 😍
We hesitated to go there as they haven't as many reviews as some others.
But don't be biaised by that, please visit them, you won't be disappointed!
Service is top-noch, we felt very welcomed from the moment we arrived in the cellar door👌
The owner has a genuine enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge and passion for his wines. He was friendly, funny and went above and beyond to make our tasting a great one 🤩
This is hands down the loveliest and most personalised wine tasting experience we have had in the Hunter Valley! We even tried a port at 200$/bottle and a Gewurztraminer which were not in the tasting menu! 😋
Not only was the service amazing, the wines were just divine🍷
A lot of people mention the quality of the ports but all the wines (whites, rosé, reds) we tried were above expectations. It was even difficult for us to choose one favourite to buy 😂
Each wine was very unique and that is exactly what we loved about Sobels Wines. If you want a genuine experience, I highly recommend you to stop and give them a try! 💖

While on our mini honeymoon after the wedding, my husband and I took a day tour with another company, but we both agreed this was our favourite winery of all. Not just because we loved the wine, but because of the warm hospitality and generosity of the staff. We ended up bringing home the most bottles from here! Thank you again for the champagne to celebrate our marriage. We can’t wait to join your wine club soon!

The staff at Sobels Wines were fantastic - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and accommodating for our large group. We had a wonderful time sampling their wines, which were all delicious (the trio was my personal favourite), and learning about the process to create them. I would highly recommend this to any travelers in the Hunter Valley

What a fantastic experience. They support local businesses with a makers market out front on the weekends. Then the great atmosphere at the cellar door with spectacular wines and had an amazing time shooting the breeze with Kevin. Really appreciate the experience and for a picky wine drinker, I hardly ever enjoy that many variants all in one place.

In my 9 month in Australia, I haven’t had a great experience with wines I tried. That was until the tasting we had with Kevin. His wines were all really good and the atmosphere in his winery was really nice as well. Thank you so much for theses memories, we’ll come back for sure :)
