What travelers are saying
- Adam K3 contributionsA friend and I were served by Lewis, it was a standard wine tasting. His knowledge of the wines was exemplary, he was quite engaging and we shared a few personal stories together. Due to a great experience and the quality of the wine, I became a member of the wine club that day. Thanks for a wonderful and engaging afternoonWritten 18 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Great wine tasting at Peterson House, $10 gives you 5 bubblies to try, and they are flexible enough to add a couple I was interested in, so thank you. Great service and setting, with a beautiful chapel on the grounds.

Elaine and her staff are friendly and accommodating although somewhat stretched with COVID impacting on staff rosters. The menu is good value and the portions are generous. The food is consistently good and the current releases of the house wines are available via glass or bottle.
This was our third visit and we will be back.Written 8 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - SydneyAsiaTravellerSydney, Australia49 contributionsThe Hunter Valley Gardens was fantastic during the Easter break with awesome dinosaur display and Easter fun fair on site. They had an Easter Egg Hunt held on Easter Sunday great for the children.
All the gardens were immaculately displayed and you can see the attention to detail everywhere in the garden.
This is a gem place to visit for the whole family.Written 23 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - sje72_10Sydney, Australia54 contributionsWe went here as it was a short walk from where we were staying and was listed as dog friendly. The wine was great and different to many of the others varieties in the Hunter and we are heading back today with the car to purchase. It was certainly dog friendly with water available for our pooch. What was also great, is that rather than having the crowds all squashed into a cellar door room on a busy Easter weekend, they made the most of the great weather and had tasting stations set up around the winery. It was a great experience with great hospitality. Highly recommend.Written 16 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Darrin O1 contributionHarkham Wines was by far the highlight of our Hunter trip, staff are amazing, super knowledgeable but not pushy with what we ‘should’ be tasting. Love the natural wine philosophy and these are the best we have tried, ever. Certainly will be back.Written 16 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Gracie SSydney, Australia16 contributionsSanta had left two flights under the Christmas tree last year with a Russian YAK52 plane for my sons. Due to the COVID restrictions they could not take off like Santa until last weekend. Although the flight has landed my sons still haven't and are still on a high. Glenn was great and was so helpful with organising a joy flight for my granddaughter also. Thanks Aerohunter and if your reading this and thinking of having a flight, don't think just do it you won't regret it!!!!Written 12 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- tanja314Canberra, Australia86 contributionsThis is a very nice tiny art gallery. I went the week before NAIDOC week and they had a really nice NAIDOC exhibit featuring local indigenous artists.
It is run solely by volunteers which is very nice and I aspire to be like those people someday. The volunteer on the day I went was very friendly and helpful, and recommended a few other places celebrating NAIDOC week with art in the area which was really great and we went to a few of them as well.Written 21 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Breadcrumbs27Sydney, Australia14 contributionsWe popped in to buy some wine.
A super friendly, knowledgeable guy helped us.
And even gave us a quick tour of the winery.

Very friendly and knowledgeable Maitland local behind the bar. Great to chat to him about the area and reminisce about Maitland and surrounding areas. Family connections also.
