This is a relaxed seated wine tasting at McCaffrey’s Estate in Pokolbin, a family-owned winery in the Hunter Valley. Rather than a quick sip-and-move-on tasting, the focus is on hearing a bit about life on the vineyard while trying a range of handcrafted wines. If you want a straightforward cellar door experience at a smaller producer, this is an easy option that keeps things personal.
Why backpackers love it
It’s a simple way to try a decent spread of Hunter Valley wines without booking a full-day tour or spending big. The smaller cellar door setup gives it a more personal feel than a larger commercial tasting, and the one-hour format makes it easy to fit into a day of exploring. It also helps that the price is low for a wine tasting in this region.
You’ll join a seated tasting and work through a selection of wines made on the estate’s 11 acres of vines. The range includes styles such as sparkling, semillon, verdelho, chardonnay, rosé, merlot cabernet, cabernet franc, shiraz and fortified wine. Along the way, you’ll hear first-hand stories about the vineyard and the family behind it. The tasting lasts around an hour. Guests need to be 18 or over to drink alcohol, and infants or children can attend with parents.
