Features

Brokenwood is one of the slickest cellar doors in the Hunter Valley. It was co-founded by legendary wine writer James Halliday in 1970, and in 2018 cemented its status as a big local player by opening an $8 million cellar door complex.

Today it encompasses Wood Restaurant (another great choice for lunch), a big outdoor terrace, wine museum, lounge area and casual breakfast and lunch eatery. Set aside plenty of time – the building is an architectural marvel, with bookable private tasting rooms and wine tasting pods (i.e. big circular bars).

There you can taste some semillon, chardonnay and shiraz, as well as other varieties Brokenwood grows outside the Hunter. Like Tyrrell’s, Brokenwood represents a different but equally important time in the Hunter Valley timeline.
