Why it's worth checking out
Amanda's on the Edge sits on McDonalds Road at Pokolbin, in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country a scenic drive from Newcastle. A well-regarded restaurant with lovely elevated views over the surrounding vineyards and countryside, it's become a popular destination for a meal amid one of the country's most famous wine regions.
The appeal is that combination of quality dining and a beautiful Hunter Valley setting, ideal for a long lunch, a special meal or a relaxed dinner while exploring the region's wineries and cellar doors. The views and the vineyard surrounds make it a destination in its own right, perfect for a memorable day or evening out in the wine country.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 2,300 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular wine-country restaurant fills up on weekends and over events, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're making the trip specifically to dine, after a table with the best of the views, or visiting the Hunter on a busy weekend.
