You’ll get to experiment with different blending ratios until you find the perfect combination. Along the way, you’ll learn about the characteristics of different grapes and how they contribute to the final product. Once you’ve created your blend, we’ll bottle it up and you’ll get to take it home with you as a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your experience. And of course, you’ll also get to enjoy a glass or two of your creation as you work. This event is for adults 18+ only and no children are permitted.

Very much recommend that Wine Making Experience in the Hunter. Declan is a very goodand talented host... he knows his business... We were 3 of us and enjoyed every minute + you leave with a bottle of your own wine so if you don't like it, that is your fault and cannot blame anyone else because on that day you are the winemaker.
One of the best wine tasting hosts in the Hunter

Declan and the team at McCaffreys offer one of the best wine tasting/making experiences you will get. Declan is authentic and extremely welcoming to everyone. The wines are pretty darn good as well, which of course helps :)

I had such a great experience in my first wine-making class in 2024 that I rebooked to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. The four of us had the best time. This is really one exceptional experience that you should enjoy when next in the Hunter. Declan is so sharing with his knowledge, he makes this class so much fun! I highly recommend this activity.
Great hunter experience

From the moment you walk in you feel very welcome, from being greeted at the door to the informative wine making class, Declan made you feel very welcome. Great experience even for a novice like me. Must do on your trip to the Hunter valley
