What a nice setting amidst the vines. The cellar door allows you to do tasting in indoor comfort while overlooking the vines. Staff are friendly and very knowledgable about the wines. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience with Wayne! Great knowledge to complement the delicious wine. Beautiful location, nice place to share a meal or cheese board.

I took my partner here in June for his birthday. We landed by helicopter and were welcomed by Phil. Phil was amazing and satisfied our needs. He is full of knowledge and we learned a few things about wine. The staff were friendly and I can happily say my partner said it was the best birthday present ever from the whole overall experience we had. Would highly recommend and would like to return in the future. The food next door was also very nice !

Just WOW!We love everything here, the wines are amazing - every single one of them. The views are spectacular! And the service is outstanding. Kat was doing the wine tasting for us and she is lovely, knowledgeable and super caring. She remembered exactly who likes which wine in the group and made sure everyone got to try their favourite. Her passion for wine is contagious and we leave every time with a few bottles. We came here a few times now always between other wineries but we always stayed longer than we planned and it still is our favourite winery in the Hunter Valley.

Best wine we tried on our recent trip to the Hunter Valley, by far! The 2006 liqueur shiraz and the accurately dubbed 2015 'The Legend' cab shiraz merlot blend were the standouts of what was fantastic tasting experience. Special thanks to Phil, the manager, who took us through each selection expertly and even brought out a couple of wine club exclusives for us to try. Couldn't recommend more!

A relatively small cellar door with a lower capacity than other venues, so can get pretty packed. The service was still very attentive and the views are pretty.

A surprisingly incredible experience, tasting way more wines than we were supposed to. Accidentally stumbled upon a remarkable 2006 liqueur Shiraz that reminded me of Willy Wonka as the flavors transformed across the palate. Ask for Phil McGlass (Phil Collins), he'll be more than generous and take you on a remarkable journey you wont forget.

Omg!!! Just amazing. From the experience, to Kat (she was lovely) to the wine (amazing - def try the Nebbiolo) and the grounds. Very impressed!

One of our favourite wineries we have ever been to. We sat on the terrace outside with stunning views over the water and hills, and the wine was the best we tasted in the whole Hunter. Kat our host was fantastic, so attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. We left very happy and with a few bottles of wine!

We visited the cellar door at a busy afternoon, but the service was still outstanding. We feel very grateful for Phil’s great presentation of the story of the winery and the wines. The view is amazing and the wine is exceptional. Will definitely visit again.

We came in a party of 3 and was served by this amazing woman named, Tress. She was holding down a full room (there were 4 tables for tasting) all by herself and still manage to give each of the group (including us) her 100%. Granted we had to wait a while before being served which was ok since we weren’t in a hurry and was enjoying the beautiful day. I am especially impressed by her ability to give us the perfect balance between giving us enough time to taste and enjoy our selected wines, and coming over to talk to us and giving us a rundown of the wines we were tasting. I would give more than 5 stars if I could for the service she provided (even helped me to look up for freight charges for my country 😂). We walked away with a few bottles and thoroughly happy. Would definitely be back if I’m ever back in the area. Highly recommended

We had a lovely time at Cockfighters Ghost. We sat on the back deck as we had our dog with us and tasted some great wines. The service was very good and we were not rushed at all.

I've been here twice for tastings, and their staff is always wonderful and great to chat with about winemaking. They really know their stuff. I would always choose their premium tasting from Poole's Rock, the superior label. Delicious wines, with great service. Will always recommend to others x

Wine tasting overlooking the beautiful vineyard including 120+ yr old Shiraz vines. Staff were very friendly, great range of wines particularly recommend the sparkling and liqueur Shiraz. Dogs welcome on the back veranda for tastings.

Tracie helped us with the wine tasting. She was well informed and knew exactly what we wanted. We never liked dessert wine but she changed our mind

Amazing customers service by Dominic today. Couldn't have been happier with him. His competence, honestly and humbles was so refreshing. Looking forward to come her again if he's going to be assigned to our table.
