Why it's worth checking out
Peterson House sits on Broke Road at Pokolbin, in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country a scenic drive from Newcastle. A well-regarded winery, it's particularly renowned for its sparkling wines — a distinctive specialty in one of the country's most famous wine regions — and its cellar door and grounds have become a popular destination.
The appeal is that combination of quality wine, a lovely vineyard setting and the chance to taste and learn at the source, with the bubbles a genuine point of difference. Set among the vines, it's a rewarding stop on a day exploring the Hunter Valley's cellar doors, and a charming spot for a tasting or a relaxed visit.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,400 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Cellar-door tastings, any dining or accommodation, opening hours and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — and pairing the visit with the Hunter Valley's many other wineries and attractions to make the most of a day in the wine country.
