- rachaelt87400Delicious winesI had an amazing tasting led by Amy who was incredibly knowledgeable. The wines were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you so much and I would definitely recommend this wine tasting. Thank you Amy
- Pam S00Wine tasting with a plus.My husband and I experienced the Brokenwood Journey with Amy as our host. We may not have chosen this but it was arranged by our travel company as part of a two day visit to the Hunter Valley. However we thoroughly enjoyed it ,especially exploring the wine and food pairings. I think my palate is shot as I age as I couldn’t taste much difference in the taste of the wine before and after food . The concept is excellent however and much thought had obviously gone into the pairings. It was great to have a personal tour of the winery with Amy who was very knowledgeable and personable. All in all a great experience.
- MWylie201700Lovely restaurant in Hunter ValleyWe had an excellent lunch here during our trip to Hunter Valley. We have been in Australia for 3 weeks and we agreed it was one of the best meals we had during our entire trip. Brokenwood is one of the few places that is open for lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday in Hunter Valley
- 925PeterK00James Excellent Wine TastingHad a wonderful wine tasting at Brokenwood eagerly and expertly led by James. Our tasting took longer than usual as we explored the wines and asked James questions, all of which he answered with a wealth of background knowledge. We followed this up with an excellent lunch on the deck. Will no doubt come back again.

- steviec38600Wine tasting with JamesMy husband and I did the wine tasting with James who was absolutely awesome! His knowledge on not just the wines, but food pairings and also educating us on the wine making process was fantastic.

We will definitely be back with friends and family. A great morning!

If I could rate this cellar door 6/5, I would! We arrived at Brokenwood without a booking. The staff warmly welcomed us and invited our group to join the next tasting. Our tasting host (Ash) was simply incredible! Her knowledge of wine blew us away. She explained each wine in detail and was so happy to answer all our questions. We loved our experience so much that we booked dinner at Brokenwood that evening. Big shout out to Elaine who poured our wines, explained the Brokenwood story and recommended wines to cellar long after her shift had finished. Brokenwood’s cellar door has expanded since we last visited, but it’s evident that it still possesses the family feel and exceptional customer service of a small, boutique winery.

Beautiful winery, the restaurant CRU was fantastic and well priced, they had live music after we did our tasting as well. The chardonnay is great value for money and they had a couple magnums from 2014 for well under $100.
Big shout out to Lauren at the door who has a great smile and found us a great seat, Elaine for being lovely and talking us through all the wines and Charlotte at the restaurant was super pleasant and paid very close attention to us (give her a round of hot chips for her break!).
See you all soon!

Had the most incredible time. Martelle was lovely, informative and genuine - couldn’t recommend a tasting with her highly enough. She took the time to relate to us on a personal level from our home town from her prior experience. She adjusted the wine tasting in a preference and provided us with clear information on each wine which we understood. Plus a courtesy bus home.

We attended the Journey experience last weekend and it was really amazing! Alex was our guide, he was passionate and very knowledgeable about wine and he taught us a lot. Each wine is paired with food and Alex explained how the elements of the food change the taste of the wine, which was really very interesting. I requested a vegetarian food pairing when I booked and it was no problem. We also received a tour of the winery and tried some wine straight from the barrel which was cool.
I highly recommend the Journey experience! It's so much more immersive than a simple wine tasting.

Amazing! My husband & I were so thoughtfully taken care of through our whole experience at Brokenwood. Complimentary bubbles to start, guided tour by James who knew exactly what he was talking about & they even arranged our trip back to our hotel after our own plans had fallen through. The whole team went above & beyond for us! I highly recommend a visit even just for a taste of one of their delicious wines, a meal or simply to meet the amazing people that work there.

We had a great experience at Brokenwood Wines. James was our guide and was incredibly friendly and insightful about the wine making process and the subtleties of the wine regions and processes. The wines tasting was delicious and paired beatifully with the creative food prepared on site from Brokenwood's own kitchen. The design and decor of the cellar door was modern and inviting. We were only 2 people during the day midweek, but I would love to come back on a Friday evening or weekend and see the bustle and feel the atmosphere of a crowd. I highly recommend this experience!

Had Amy as our wine tasting guide. Great service and place to do wine tasting. Highly recommend. Price to do wine tasting I must say is steep cost $25 per person but if you buy enough wine you get it refunded back with wine purchase

By far the most informative wine tasting I have been too, James had a great attitude and made us all feel very welcome. He talked to us in a way that lifted the mood and no one felt talked down too with our range of wine drinkers at the tasting. Amazing wines- the worst part was trying to decide!

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but what an excellent experience! Amy was our host for “The Journey” and although I am not a real wine aficionado, was really impressed by the presentation of the wines, the food pairings and the description of the processes, flavours and palate experience. The tour through winery itself was lots of fun and meeting Winston the winery pooch was a highlight. Finished off with some lunch outside on the deck on a quite mild winter’s afternoon.
Highly recommended, from cellar door staff to the wine and to the restaurant staff, all excellent. Looking for an experience in the Hunter, Brokenwood is well worth the time. Thank you!

Booked the "Journey" experience for myself and my partner and cannot recommend it enough. Braiden the gentleman who conducted our tour was very insightful and was happy to answer any questions or even just stop and "chat" about any aspect. Learning about the matching of wines to different foods was very interesting along with learning about the winery history and what goes into making the final product. Enjoyed a bottle of wine and a cheese platter afterwards. Something that I will not hesitate to recommend.
