Pokolbin NSW 2320
Taste our exclusive range of premium wines made on site and a selection from small Hunter Valley Family Winemakers.
9.00am, 11.00am, 2.00pm and 4.00pm Hunter Valley Resort offers the total “Wine Experience.” The on site winery is by far the largest, and most advanced in the Hunter Valley. The Wine Tasting Cellars are open everyday. Crushing some 6,500 tonnes of grapes each year, the winery produces around 6 million litres of wine.
Our onsite Vineyard Tour is followed by The Hunter Wine Theatre - The new experience for visitors to the Hunter Wine Country…
The fun side of seeing a winery in action is when the grapes are being picked and put through the crusher at the winery – which for The Hunter Valley happens only in January and February. For the rest of the year action at the winery is generally pretty quiet.
Not so with the new Hunter Wine Theatre… The experience starts with an inspection of the Hunter Valley Resort's 40 year old Shiraz vineyards – and yes as witd things, the fruit does get better each year…
Then it is back to the Hunter Wine Theatre. This brandce takes just over half an hour in our dedicated theatre, running several times every day. Up on the big screen – learn a little of the Hunter's wine heritage, Australia's oldest wine area. See the grapes being harvested, and being crushed at the on site winery.
The winemaking lesson continues watching how the wine press actually works, the Winemaker adding the yeast, seeing the juice start to ferment into alcohol, learn the art of wine blending, and finally the wine being bottled.
And that's just for the white wines… Making red wine is a completely different process.
After the show – up come the lights and it's down to the serious business of wine tasting. In front of each visitor is a bracket of the Hunter's best wines.
The Cellarmaster takes visitors through the “Structure” of wine. Why is colour important? Smell the many bouquets of a wine, and of courseuld one look for in the taste of wine?
The Hunter Wine Theatre is a true sensory overload…
Also on site is the at Hunter Resort, Hunter Valley Cooking School, Hunter Valley Wine School, a great restaurant, hors riding, and wonderful 4 star rooms (Some with spa...).
