Leaves Fishes Must Visit Destination

When you set foot onto the lush 20 acres it’s very easy to forget you're in the Hunter. There’s no vineyards – rather, rainforest trees & a pond covered in lotus and lilies make you feel like you’ve been transported to Bali.
Explore the restaurant, homewares or the beautiful grounds.

Best Breakfast In Hunter

You won't believe the incredible scenery we soaked in at The Deck Cafe in Lovedale! Picture this: sitting on the deck, overlooking this tranquil dam surrounded by lush forest—it was like something out of a postcard. And the food? Oh man, it was next level! From the breakfast spread to the tapas menu at lunch and dinner, every dish was a flavor explosion. Seriously, I couldn't get enough! Plus, they had this awesome selection of drinks, including Gartelmann wines and some top-notch coffee. It was one of those experiences that just sticks with you, you know? If you ever find yourself in the area, you've gotta check it out!

Tatler Tastings

Take in the endless views of vineyards as you taste some incredible wines from Tatler. You will get to appreciate some of their vineyards, which date back 50 years!

After sipping on bubbly, make your way to the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company for some amazing snacks! The chocolate-covered strawberries were to die for, and chocolate pasta noodles were so unusual and yummy!

Sipping Bubbly At Peterson House

Peterson House produces some of the best sparkling wines I've ever had. Zac was an amazing sommelier, teaching us lots of new things about sparkling wine. The property is beautiful and surrounded by stunning views.

Horner Wines

Love this small boutique winery on Palmers Lane. Very friendly staff, great wine (majority of them organic) and all together a very nice atmosphere.

Cider Tasting

Some of the best ciders in Australia come from this beautiful cider house. Taste some niche flavours as Carla, or whoever is looking after you, takes you through a menu of their amazing ciders. Take in the views on the patio while you're sipping and be sure to bring your camera!
