Itinerary highlights
Hope Estate
Already famous for its wines and providing a spectacular venue for world-class concerts within the vineyards, in 2014 Hope Estate made a foray into the world of beer brewing.
Hosting major performers such as Bruce Springsteen, the inspiration behind their beers stems from their passion to create the perfectly matched craft beer and concert experience.
With up to 22 different beers on tap, Hope Brewhouse has a variety of award-winning beers to be sampled while taking in the beautiful Hunter Valley scenery.
Foghorn Hunter
In 2020, Hunter Beer Co was bought by Founders First and rebranded as Foghorn Hunter. Potter’s Hotel has also been rebranded as The Mighty Hunter.
Surrounded by the old brick remnants of the pottery kilns, the olf Hunter Beer Co is the oldest operating brewery in the Hunter Valley.
The brewery produces a range of world-renowned, award winning beers, and a visit here is an experience no beer lover should miss. Hunter Beer Co produces several signature beers, such as their German-Style Kolsch, and their crowd favorite; the Slaked Magpie Vanilla Porter.
They also have some of the beers from Foghorn in Newcastle on tap as well.
Ironbark Hill Brewhouse
IronBark Hill Brewhouse is located at the iconic Peter Drayton Wines. The brewery has eight rotating taps, with both beer and cider on offer.
