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.

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

Some friends came up from Sydney for a special occasion and we chose to go to Leogate for Lunch - what a great choice!! Our table was by a large window, looking out over lawns and the vineyard, with ducks wandering about and kangaroos in sight as well on the neat lawns. From the time we were seated the excellent service began, with water offered initially then the menus and drinks all seamless and unobtrusive. When our food arrived it all lived up to our expectations and was picturesque, tasty and filling, then the desserts--- O Boy! they were worth the visit in themselves, each of us received a work of art as well as a fantastic, flavourfull and generous platefull. Not cheap but certainly worth the money for a great lunch experience in wonderful surroundings.

My wife and I always stop in to this cellar door when in the Hunter, the experience is always friendly with good humour usually provided by Maureen and Cathy. The staff here really know their wines and can also help you with finding good places to eat in the area. This time we booked a tasting for 3 couples, following COVID registration we were seated outside. We tasted a range of wines The range of wines included bubbles, whites and some very satisfying reds. The tasting was quite relaxed and we weren’t being rushed in any way.

My favourite place to vist in the Hunter Valley. The wine is delicious and from now on I will need a constant supply of that amazing chocolate liqueur in my fridge. The staff are so friendly and down to earth - the recommendations they sent through after I made a cellar door booking was a really nice touch as well. Every other cellar door visit in the Hunter Valley was disappointing compared to this one.

Went with friends in December and this was the best winery experience out of the three we wineries we visited. Ben was a great host and very welcoming. There is no charge for wine tasting at McGuigans. Ben provided great information on the wines he offered us, was good fun to talk to and the cellar door wines are really nice and we ended up purchasing wonderful Limited edition Sparkling wine, delicious Pinot Grigio and Rose wine as well as their Non-alcoholic range Zero! Great visit - can highly recommend it!
