Have been visiting Moorebank for about 30 years. Absolutely love the Late Harvest Semillon and Moorescato and both were on "special". Bought more than planned, Love the spicy grape sauce so again bought more for home. I can highly recommend the muscat too. The family who own this establishment are delightful. You will also love their dog Stella. It is sad that Sheila (the black sheep) is no longer with us but you can meet the very naughty goat.
2. Waverley Estate
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 254 reviews
Waverley Estate is the only Aged Wine Specialist in the Hunter Valley. The philosophy of the estate is to achieve low yields of fruit which create intensely flavored grapes attaining high quality but small quantity. Waverley offers award winning Semillon, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sparkling and an amazing Vintage Port. No day in the Hunter is complete without stopping by Waverley where you will witness first hand aged Hunter wines and history blended together.

Wonderful knowledge and service by the staff. Happy to accommodate and explain the process and history of each wine. Cheese platter to enjoy and the scenery and setting is just beautiful. The wines are just superb, even if you aren’t the biggest wine person. The explanations to accompany the tastings is fantastic. Definitely a must visit when in the area.

A beautiful property and some great wines including a very nice sparkling shiraz and an amazing "Blacksmith's Shiraz Cabernet". The staff are very friendly and helpful but beware they are very persuasive (or maybe we are) since we left with a lot more wine than planned! Fun visit and recommended
7. Tomaree Head

Reviewed By DebB123123 - Lismore, Australia
Paved path up the hill for about 600m with some seating for rests, then you can go sideways for 650 m to see the WW11 bunker which was just an empty shell and not worth it, or walk up to the summit, it does have sections of steep metal stairs with narrow steps, but then more gentle areas to get your breath back before the next stairs. The path wraps around the hill near the top to give great views of the coast and 2 viewing platforms at the top where I saw 2 whales and a pod of dolphins, well worth the effort

Absolutely fantastic service, attention to detail and took the time to really explain the history of the wines and the winery. Would highly recommend this winery to anyone looking for great service, even better wines and supporting small independent businesses!
