Why it's worth checking out

Pescara sits on McDonalds Road at Pokolbin, within Hermitage Lodge in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country a drive from Newcastle. A well-regarded restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its accomplished, flavour-packed cooking — a clear sign of a place delivering both genuinely good food and a great experience in a lovely wine-country setting.

The appeal is that combination of skilled cooking, an excellent regional wine offering and a relaxed yet refined setting among the vines at Hermitage Lodge, ideal for a special dinner, a relaxed evening or a memorable meal in one of the country's most famous wine regions. With its quality and lovely setting, Pescara has clearly become a genuine favourite for Hunter Valley diners.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 240 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, wine lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a sought-after wine-country restaurant books out, so it's worth checking current details and reserving a table directly before you go — particularly for a special occasion, a weekend, or if you're exploring the Hunter Valley.
