Experience the best of Hunter Valley with our exclusive partnership with the award-winning Hunters Quarter (HQ) restaurant. Enjoy a delightful two-course à la carte lunch paired with our popular Tulloch Hunter Heroes wine tasting. You can choose to start with a wine tasting at 11:00 am followed by lunch, or enjoy lunch first at 12:30 pm, with both venues just a short 2-minute drive or a leisurely 10-minute walk apart.

The Hunter Valley is Australia’s oldest wine region, with its first vines planted in the 1820s. Today, over 150 wineries produce a diverse range of exceptional wines. The Tulloch family has been a cornerstone of this region since 1895 when John Younie (J.Y.) Tulloch began his winemaking journey on a 43-acre property in Pokolbin, nurturing the neglected Shiraz vines.

During the Tulloch Hunter Heroes wine tasting, you will sample six carefully selected wines that showcase the region's best-known grape varieties: Semillon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Verdelho. This tasting also includes a special wine from our museum cellar, allowing you to compare an aged Hunter wine with our current releases.

Hunters Quarter 2 Course Lunch (Entrée + Main or Main + Dessert)

Hunters Quarter, run by the talented husband-and-wife duo Brian and Jen Duncan, offers a relaxed yet elegant dining experience in the heart of Pokolbin. Chef Brian Duncan, with his extensive background in fine dining, has crafted a seasonal menu that highlights local produce and global flavors. Enjoy a two-course lunch (Entrée + Main or Main + Dessert) in a beautiful setting, complete with a private terrace overlooking the vineyards. HQ is recognized as the #1 restaurant in Pokolbin on TripAdvisor, making it the perfect spot to savor fantastic food.

  • Two-course à la carte lunch at Hunters Quarter

Definitely one of the best wineries we had the pleasure of visiting. Highly recommend !! I'm sure they are all amazing staff but Bobby was absolutely exceptional, so knowledgeable and highly passionate. He took his time in describing each wine we tried which he explained all the flavours, climates the grapes were grown and the juicing process. Made it so interesting and exciting to know each story behind the bottle. Thankyou Bobby for making it so enjoyable and easy to choose. We definitely will be back for your amazing service and the most tastiest wine we have experienced.

We absolutely loved our tasting experience. They were very generous and gave us more than the allotted 6 wines and we paid a few extra dollars to taste some aged museum collection wines and they were amazing - i recommend doing this to get a sense of how the wines will age. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They allowed our dog to join us on the verandah. Definitely one of the highlights from the Hunter Valley.
