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.

We were a very loud group.
We completely understand that may not be overly ideal, however, at the end of the day we were paying them for us to be there!
Oakvale did not want a bar of us and were not happy with us from the moment we walked in.
We felt judged and like we should not have even been there!
The staff member couldn't even place down the cheese board without bumping someone, and she certainly did not care.
So disappointing.
This is not the type of review anyone wants to leave, but any group who is travelling to the Hunter for fun/light hearted experience should not go here.

The team at Oakvale make the experience they bring such a fun atmosphere and a lot of knowledge. The wines are gorgeous starting with an innovative bellini and moving through some fabulous whites, rose and reds. The grounds are gorgeous - we had such a wonderful time

Called in for lunch. Kids had fun on the free water bikes. Sat outside, beautiful location & view. Meals were great. Lamb ribs fell off the bone, lovely dipping sauce. Steak sandwich was cooked perfectly, Korean chicken was fabulous, cooked perfectly, BBQ sauce was yummy. Chicken bites & chips perfect for kids.
Wine tasting was really good, staff was knowledgeable, wines were very reasonably priced.
The staff were friendly, helpful, happy & engaging. Would recommend

Favourite winery to bring friends and family.
Beautiful setting amongst the vineyards so calm and quiet, perfect for a vineyard tour. Lovely to sit outside and taste their beautiful wines.
Our host was amazing, so knowledgeable and entertaining. The wines especially the Bellini and Chardony were delicious. So much so that many bottles were purchased for ourselves and for one of a kind Christmas presents. Great for those that are difficult to buy for.
Thoroughly recommend you put them on your winery tour you wont be dissapointed.

Oakvale Wines is the most beautiful winery we’ve visited so far! Though this wasn’t a tasting visit, we stopped by to purchase wines based on our previous experience—and we were reminded why we love this place so much.
The winery’s charm is unmatched, with a lovely café, gorgeous gardens, and a fascinating cellar filled with wine barrels. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and we even had the chance to taste a few of their exceptional wines.
We loved everything about the visit and couldn’t leave without buying two of their best bottles. Highly recommend visiting this gem!

At this cellar door your amazing wine comes paired with a smile and few laughs. The amazing team at oakvale hosted us for a group wine tasting to celebrate my birthday. It was so well organized, they were so friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. The wine was stunning (make sure you try the Bellini!) . It was our favorite venue of the day. Make sure you add it to your list!

Visited as part of a twofatblokes tour. Very informative. A lot of information on wine processes. Explained a lot about why some people have adverse reactions to white wine. I also had no idea how some wine processes add all manner of substances to filter certain things out.

This was our first visit to Oakvale Wines and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Our host, Adam, was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. The wines were beautiful, and we’ll definitely stop in here again when we next visit the Hunter Valley.

Had a fabulous time tasting Oakvale Wines, Adam was knowledgeable and not at all pretentious. He shared his knowledge and didn’t make you feel guilty for not knowing all the different varieties. Fabulous afternoon of trying some of the best wines in the Hunter!

Excellent wine tasting experience. Great wine, friendly & outstanding service offered. Covid safe practices observed. Host gave us the perfect amount of attention and left us to chat and enjoy. It was the right balance and it was not awkward at buying time. Great flow of energy.
