Why it's worth checking out
Baumé sits on McDonalds Road at Pokolbin, in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country a scenic drive from Newcastle. A well-regarded restaurant set among the vineyards, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality dining — the kind of standout meal that's become a genuine destination in one of the country's most famous wine regions.
The appeal is that combination of accomplished cooking, excellent local wine and a beautiful Hunter Valley setting, ideal for a long lunch, a special meal or a relaxed dinner while exploring the region's cellar doors. The vineyard surrounds make it a destination in its own right, and the strong following reflects the quality on offer.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,500 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing vary with the seasons — and a wine-country restaurant is often booking-dependent — so it's well worth checking current details and reserving a table directly before you go, particularly for a weekend lunch, a special occasion, or if you're making the trip into the Hunter specifically to dine.
