Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An awful, unwelcoming and rude experience at Constable Estate Winery. From the minute we walked through the door we were greeted by a larger lady who was incredibly rude and unfriendly. After we asked to be seated outside in a nice manner we were quickly shut down with no consideration. She advised all tables outside were booked. However, the entire time no one came through the doors and there was no effort to help us with our request. The entire experience from then was completely unpleasant as she was rude not only to myself and my group but all those around her, even our tour driver. She was giving horrible looks to several people making me and my girlfriends very uncomfortable and wanting to leave as soon as possible. Wines were also not great. There are plenty of great wineries in the Hunter, this is not one of them. Take it off your list and visit the others.

We are locals but recent members of Constable and couldn't be happier. Super friendly cellar door, great selection of well-priced wines and superb gardens and lookout to explore. Don't miss this one!

A good range of wines..from quality low prices to the older quality more expensive. Lovely tasting verandah. A focus on the good HV wine varieties. Nice gardens to wander. Sue very switched on. One of the better door options. Great view from Haalidays look out...bitumen drive...

Had a lovely wine tasting experience with our host Howard. He had such a fun, positive attitude which really impacted the experience. Definitely recommend visiting this location on your next wine tour. Delicious wine too.

The house is 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom and was great for our party of two couples and a baby. Great value ! It was clean neat and tidy. The kitchen and BBQ facilities were good. The gardens are magnificent and the staff at the winery were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our weekend and it was a convenient location to explore the other wineries and attractions in the Hunter Valley

Luckily Howard served us today in this vineyard. A real nice man, who likes his job & tries to help with your choice of wines. As for the lady she would turn milk sour. She was rude when we entered; no smile or hello.
In fact, she glared at us so rudely.
Another couple who were with us remembered her from before for her rudeness.
If your job is to meet & greet and you can’t do it then leave as you are only frightening the customers.

Thanks always to Sue and Jen and the team at Constables. The best people providing the best service, very knowledgeable about all things wines.
Being a member is such great value and the wines are sensational.
10 friends sharing a great weekend in the Constable house - always brilliant.
You are mad if you don't make Constables Estate Vineyard a consistent stop every time you visit Pokolbin !!!

Great place for us, as locals,to take visitors . The view is a fabulous 360 degrees all around the Hunter at Len Evans Lookout. Would like to go into the winery but it usually looks quiet or not open to the public. Not sure. The owners have made a huge effort with the gardens and layout of the winery itself. Well done.

Thank you so very much for your kind words..
David Constable has taken a lot of years to get the garden/grounds to where they are now and is very proud of them.
We are open to the public for wine tasting/sales 7 days a week from 10am until 4pm and only closed some public holidays.
Cheers.
Jenny.
Team Constable.

I've been heading up to the Hunter wineries for lots of years and try to get to at least one of the lesser known vineyards each time I go there now ... and this place is why.
We were travelling over the Easter long weekend with our little 10 week old Champ and loved it.
The Estate grounds are simply beautiful. The staff are friendly and generous with their time and knowledge and (pouring) the wines. You don't feel pressured or rushed and in return we walked out with a stash. Chilling a bottle as I am typing this.
Places like this are precisely why you visit the Hunter.

I attended Constable Estate Vineyards with a group of friends on the weekend. Admittedly we did not have a tasting booking, but were happy to wait around when asked. A middle aged lady spoke to us terribly and the service was poor. We were made to feel like we were in the way. Couples, who also had no booking, were coming in after us and were being served (by two staff members at once) ahead of us.
It was very disappointing. The wine was nice and we were a large group. I believe a lot more of our group would have purchased wine if we received better service!
One of my friends, who suggested we go there, had been before and had a fantastic experience, so it is a shame that this experience has tainted the rest of our view.

Dear Jade C and other Bike Riders, I was very sorry to hear about your experience at Constable Estate and thank you for bringing it to our attention. We do pride ourselves on excellent service, and as you can see from previous reviews, your experience was very much outside the norm. We love and welcome our many individual visitors and groups, but have a policy for groups over 8 (you numbered 10), and ask that they book a tasting before arrival, as our Cellar Door is small and we are always very busy on weekends. On that particular day, we had 9 pre-booked groups. Once again I am so sorry you had this experience.
All reviews are very important to us, and we will be taking steps to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you, Sue Lewis, Cellar Door Manager
