Reviewed By Vickie S - Brunswick, Georgia
This winery was one on our Hunter Valley wine tour. It stood out because of Lesley, the informative and friendly staff person who took us through the wine tasting. The winery is beautifully located in Hunter Valley with a wine tasting room that is cozy and efficient. Our group was thirteen people, one of which was a small child. In spite of the potential distraction of the child, Lesley handled the tasting and the education of the tour group with professional aplomb. The wines were interesting and ranged widely in type and taste.

After a pathetically poor experience just up the road at the Hunter Valley Resort, we called in at the Keith Tulloch Winery with a nervous air of trepidation. However, Cameron our guide, was very charming and extremely knowledgable, patiently explaining why the Shiraz costs more than the Semillon, how each wine is produced, and the history of the winery. He also advised how Keith Tulloch wines could be obtained in the UK, and the reason for Australian wines being cheaper in the UK than in Australia was also explained !
We had a very relaxing time on the balcony sampling the wines – being white wine drinkers we chose 5 whites and the expensive Shiraz. I really enjoyed the Pinot Gris
It is 5 AUD per person to taste 6 wines, although this is waved if you buy some wine. Mrs FB2000 decided to get the 75 AUD Shiraz as a present………
Overall, a visit to Keith Tulloch Winery is highly recommended
