It's heating up at Hope Estate

Like so many businesses in and around Wine Country, Hope Estate is enjoying welcoming customers back to the Hunter's Biggest Beer Garden and their Cellar Door, which is open seven days (between 10am–5pm). Their recently renovated Cellar Door showcasing their wine, beer and spirits products offers a variety of experiences for everyone to enjoy, all in one place.

There are two wine tasting experiences on offer. The first includes a selection of six varieties of the entry-level 'Estate' range.

Alternatively, taste the 'Premium' range, which includes a selection of eight wines alongside a cheese plate, and caters to both the curious and connoisseur.

If beer is more your thing, why not try a tasting paddle of four varieties from the whopping 30 beers on tap! Across the tap

range, you can find everything from hoppy ales, NEIPAs, sours, trophy-winning stouts, cider and more! Can't choose just four? They also offer a flight of 12 served with a cheese plate!

For those after something different, the spirits tasting paddle will go down a treat! Choose from two gin paddles or a vodka and ouzo paddle; all served with matching garnish, mixer, and a mini bucket of ice.

As things are getting busier, bookings are highly recommended (and required for wine tastings). Book now by emailing cellardoor@hopeestate.com.au or calling 4993 3555.

All of these experiences, as well as a casual glass of wine, beer or mixed spirit can be enjoyed while overlooking the lush lawns of the Hope Estate amphitheatre, which is often inhabited by the local mob of kangaroos.

The 2022 event season in the aforementioned amphitheatre is starting to ramp up, with the season kicking off with HOPE

ROCKS on 5 February 2022 and includes a massive lineup of acclaimed Australian artists headlined by James Reyne with Baby Animals, Rose Tattoo and more.

Also recently announced - The Killers will be coming to the Hunter on Saturday, 17 December 2022.

With even more events still to be announced … bring on 2022!
