This is a short guided tasting in Pokolbin focused on pairing cheese with wine. If you like both but never quite know what works together, it gives you a straightforward introduction without needing to book a full-day tour. Trained staff talk you through the matching process as you taste nine cheeses paired with wines, with a mix of local, Australian and international varieties. At $39, it suits travellers who want a sit-down tasting that feels a bit more focused than a standard cellar door stop.
Why backpackers love it
It is easy to fit into a Hunter Valley day without blowing the budget or locking you into a long itinerary. The short format works well if you are visiting a few wineries and want one tasting that is more interactive and food-focused. It is also useful if you want to learn a bit rather than just sip your way through another standard tasting. Strong reviews suggest it delivers good value for a relatively affordable Hunter Valley experience.
The experience runs for around 45 minutes and is available daily, rain, hail or shine. You’ll be guided through a series of cheese and wine pairings, with staff explaining why certain flavours work well together and how to build better matches yourself. The tasting includes nine cheeses selected from local, Australian and international producers, paired with wines as you go. It is suitable for all physical fitness levels, and service animals are allowed. It is not recommended for pregnant travellers.
