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.

    Thank you for a lovely tasting experience this afternoon. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience and highly commend Jamie for the level of service that he provided us. Jamie was a wonderful and knowledgeable host and really made our first experience at Scarborough one to be remembered.

    We had a great time at Pepper Tree in Hunter Valley. After doing some research, I chose them, and they exceeded my expectations. The wines were exceptional, and the staff was fantastic. I especially loved their Shiraz and exclusive Verdelho (we even purchased a few bottles).

    We were recommended this winery. We arrived later in the afternoon, after a day of travelling.
    The location, building and setting is really beautiful.
    Adrian our host was friendly and helpful. He talked us through the wines and answered all my husbands questions.
    The wine was lovely!

    Seven of us visited the winery for a pre-booked tasting. The location and the weather were very much on our side. However, the delightful Lana, who facilitated the tasting, was the star of the show. Some of the vineyards date back to early last century. The 2022 Premiere Chardonnay was the crowd favourite. A last-minute request for a cheese board added another dimension to our experience because we ended up with a great food and wine pairing. The quality of the wines was outstanding but it was Lana’s understated, highly informed and friendly demeanour that really made for a great visit. Would go back in a heartbeat.

    What a fabulous experience tasting wonderfully delicious Hunter Valley wines, Tonya was amazing - great customer service, extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We highly recommend a visit to the wine house. An experience not to be missed.

    This was our first visit to Hunter Valley having visited and experienced other wine regions.
    We enjoyed our drive into Hunter Valley and after settling in decided to visit Tempus Two and then McGuigan Wines Cellar Door. They are located next to each other. We were informed that these are owned by the same company.
    Trevor looked after us and was well informed about the McGuigan Wines. At a cost of $10 per person, you get a choice of 6 wines to taste. This cost is not deducted if you purchase wines. However for every 6 wines you purchase, you get a seventh (lowest cost of those you purchase) for free.
    The grapes for the wines come from many regions rather than just Hunter Valley.
    We particularly enjoyed (and purchased a selection including) the Mastercraft Noon Harvest Shiraz (a sweeter Shiraz), Mastercraft Personal Reserve Langhorne Creek Cab Sav (deeper flavours and priced a little more than others), and Mastercraft Shiraz.
    McGuigan is worth a visit and their wines are good for the tasting.

    What an outstanding experience it was the highlight of our day. A small boutique family owned winery with a welcome that was world class. The wines and products were sensational and the storytelling was what made it so memorable. Stella the red kelpie is so welcoming and made the visit even more special. The purchases we made were great value and stunning quality. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s a must visit and skip the large commercial cellar doors that are disappointing for experience and quality.

    This restaurant never ceases to impress. The service is efficient and friendly, and the food excellent. We had the prawn pasta which was super yummy. Probably only point for improvement would be to NOT put cheese on top. I mean, seafood and cheese, a no, no.

    There’s so many wineries to chose from in the Hunter, but we chose to come here simply because of the name (having not known much about wines!) We have a son Thomas and we drove past the building and it was beautiful - so it was a yes to our list.
    We did a tasting the next morning and Karen our host was friendly and informative. We enjoyed chatting to her about the wines, the region and our trip.
    The location of the building is very pretty and the wines were lovely. We were pleased to have stopped here.
