First Tasting at Krinklewood Estate
By 11:00 AM you’ll arrive at your first destination—Krinklewood Estate.
A hidden gem surrounded by Provençal-style gardens where peacocks roam freely. Here, you’ll indulge in an elegant wine tasting, perfectly paired with a locally sourced cheese and charcuterie board if you wish.
Sip slowly as you’ll be here for 1 1/2 hours. The perfect amount of time to enjoy the wine at an unhurried pace, take in the stunning atmosphere, and grab some Instagram-worthy photos in the grounds.
Second Tasting at Talits Estate
At 12:45 PM the French-inspired escape continues as we arrive at the breathtaking Talits Estate—a direct replica of a Château in Aix-en-Provence.
Sip fine wines beside a tranquil, lily pad-covered lake, and, if you’re in the mood, enjoy a leisurely game of Pétanque or Quoits among the vines.
Lunch
By 2:30 PM it’s time for a long, indulgent lunch. Depending on your selected experience, you will either:
Dine in a charming Tuscan-style village, where Cafe Enzo, a chic café-restaurant, offers gourmet food in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, complete with an enchanting courtyard.
OR
Savour an exquisite meal at Restaurant Botanica, one of the Hunter Valley’s most celebrated hatted restaurants, where the intimate setting and innovative menu bring a Gallic twist to modern Australian cuisine.
Third Tasting at 1813
After lunch, you’ll head to 1813, an elegant boutique cellar door set among the vines of Tinonee Vineyard Estate.
Relax and enjoy a wine tasting experience in their air-conditioned cellar door during the warmer months and fireside on the adjoining terrace during the cooler months, whilst admiring the picturesque scenery and spectacular sandstone formation known as Yellow Rock.
