Renowned Wines from a Historic Region

Leogate Estate prioritizes sustainable farming practices, with vineyard rows planted with native grasses and minimal use of artificial inputs.

A nice place, the wines I tasted seemed good and of quality, but they do not fit my taste. Tasting different wines without a bruschetta or a breadstick is quite hard, at least for my habits, maybe you will not taste the wine well, but it helps to drink it. Very beautiful the view around, excellent for a walk.

Stopped here at a family member’s recommendation while visiting from America. Beautiful location, elegant tasting room (but not so posh we couldn’t come casual). It was an awful weather day when we went but still pretty and less crowded so we got extra attention. Enjoyed our wine tasting and staff. The food was amazing! The Prawns were the best I’ve ever had. Would also recommend the sliders, cheeseboard and charcuterie board.

Bought a couple of red at cellar door. The Black Cluster Shiraz was the best thing I have ever tasted at that price point across Hunter Valley. Cellar door experience was great. They were even patient and quirky :) enough to bring us 2 bottles of the clay to explain their site in details. I hope I am patient enough not to open the Basin Shiraz too soon.

We stayed here for our wedding anniversary yesterday and the whole place was beautiful! Lovely room with a stunning view. The best place we've started so far in the Hunter and at a very reasonable price. The two staff were very friendly and helpful upon check in too! Will definitely recommend and return.

Such a beautiful venue with a lovely atmosphere, a gentleman by the name of Jeffrey was very knowledgeable about the wines and the pairing of the canapes. It was all very tasty. The service we received was lovely. Definitely a venue I would highly recommend!
