What a wonderful spot! From the moment you drive up the hill to Thomas Allen Wines you know you are in for exceptional service and it did not disappoint. The venue itself has an old world charm, sophistication and class about it and sitting outside looking over the rolling hills and vineyards with a slight breeze coming through is something that will linger in my memory. We came for a wine tasting on the 27th of March and although our server was on his own and spreading his time between four different groups, he did so with ease and made us feel important and valuable. He was very knowledgeable, like able and just the perfect amount of cheeky…. A winning combination in his profession in my opinion. The wines were on another level and I don’t think there was any that we didn’t immediately love. I have never personally found a Chardonnay that I like in all of the 21 years that I’ve been of legal drinking age however by some miracle, it was here at Thomas Allen that I found the only Chardonnay I’ve ever liked. The 2021 Understudy Chardonnay completely exceeded my expectations so much so that I bought some on my way out. If there are any wines that you didn’t purchase from the venue you can also order online. I’ve been on many wine tours in the Hunter but this was my first visit to Thomas Allen and I will be raving and recommending it to all of my friends and it will always feature in my stops on my next trip to the Hunter Valley.

This is an exceptional winery. This tops our list, and cant be compared to anything.Mitsura would have to be the best dessert wine we have tasted, sparkling Chardonnay is also impressive. The rest of the wine on the list is also superb. The place is exclusive and can be seen with the waiting list to be a member. I came here twice this month, once with my husband and the other with my friends. The staff are knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. Thank you Garry for being so kind, patient and knowledgeable towards us. Thank you 🩷

Hands down the best wine tasting experience in the hunter valley. Booking required, but the knowledge of the staff is unparalleled. Grant was the gentleman that took care of us and really won us over. The wines that we sampled, were some of the best we have ever had. We took a dozen bottles home with us and signed up to their wine club membership. Well worth a visit.
