Must visit wineries in Hunter Valley

Hunter Valley is the oldest wine region in Australia, and a great option for a weekend getaway from Sydney. Each time we visit there, we have a completely different experience and, with over 150 wineries in Hunter Valley, it will feel like a new place each time.

If it is your first time in Hunter you may want to take a wine tour or the hop on hop off (we have done this and highly recommend it). However, if you know exactly want wineries in Hunter Valley you would like to visit then you can take taxis around (Uber is normally available in the hunter).

The wineries are so diverse, from Australian farm vibes to Tuscany vibes, from commercial to homely. You can truly tailor your experience wondering around this wine rich beautiful green valley however you would like to.

Here is a list of my recommended Must Visit Wineries in Hunter Valley.

1. Iron Gate Estate

I love a good winery that is also very picturesque and transports you to a different place. Iron Gate Estate is the winery that will make it look like you have visited Tuscany in Italy, and having an amazing European holiday!

2. Leogate Estate

Leogate Estate will provide you a classy, vintage experience with a touch of elegance. The outside is stunning, with white Grecian architecture and fountains. To top it all up the views of the Brokenback Ranges that surround the estate are second to none.

Brokenwood Wines

This stunning wooden designed cellar door, Brokenwood Wines is a must visit in the Hunter. A more commercial wine now, this is a cellar door where you have many options. From private tastings, cheese boards, to trying wine at your own leisure on the expansive terrace, this is a great place to spend a couple of hours.

4. Mira Wines

For a more personalised wine tasting experience with Greek inspiration, Mira Wines is a beautiful vineyard owed by a lovely Greek-Australian family. The wine tasting experience includes olives, cheese and beautiful views. The hero of Mira Wines is the limoncello, which is a lovely change to all of the wine in Hunter Vally!

While you are here, it is easy to visit Hanging Tree wines which is walkable next door.

5. Hanging Tree Wines

For a boho, boutique, rustique themed winery, Hanging Tree Wines is a beautiful place to hang out and drink some wine! Just a short walk from Mira Wines, it is worth visiting both while in this area.
