This is a straightforward cellar door tasting at Ivanhoe Wines, where you’ll sit down with a wine host and work through a range of boutique wines. The wines are sold through the cellar door rather than bottle shops, so it’s a good option if you want to try something a bit more local and specific to the winery. You’ll get tasting tips along the way, plus free water, in a relaxed setting overlooking the vineyard.
Why backpackers love it
At $15, this is a fairly easy add-on if you’re already exploring the Hunter Valley and want a winery stop without committing to a long tour. The seated format keeps things simple, and having a host talk you through the wines makes it approachable even if you don’t know much about wine. It also suits short stays, since you can fit it into a bigger day of tastings or sightseeing.
The tasting runs for around 45 minutes and is hosted at the cellar door. You’ll be guided through a selection that may include whites, reds and fortified wines, with staff offering practical tasting advice as you go. The winery sits on an 80-acre vineyard, so there are good views while you taste, and there are sculptures on site if you feel like a wander afterwards. The experience is wheelchair accessible and suitable for a wide range of travellers.
