Cellar Collection: Curated Artisan Tastes in Broke Fordwich Hunter Valley

On a cool late-afternoon in Broke, the ritual is simple: order The Cellar Collection, roll up the car, and open a box assembled from the best small producers across Australia. Pick up at 697 Wollombi Rd, Broke NSW 2330 or have it delivered to your Broke Fordwich accommodation, and you immediately have a portable tasting room—three cheeses, charcuterie or pâté, artisan crackers, savoury treats, something sweet, and a few unexpected finds that make each bite feel like local discovery.

The spread is intentionally unfussy. Tasting notes arrive on scraps of paper rather than pedigreed labels; textures matter more than terroir. Add a bottle of Cael's Gate wine—white, rosé, or red—to bring a regional thread to the table. Eat straight from the box on a picnic blanket under eucalypt gums, arrange a photographed board on your cottage benchtop, or open small plates for a pre-dinner aperitif while the sun softens over vineyard rows.

Broke sits in the Hunter Valley, one of Australia’s oldest wine regions, a pocket of limestone and red loam that favors hands-on growers and boutique makers. The meeting point at 697 Wollombi Rd puts you in the middle of country lanes, low fences, and the sound of Wollombi Brook nearby. The Cellar Collection functions as a curated introduction to the area's food craft: you’re sampling producers who otherwise might not ship widely, and every item tells a piece of the local story.

Ordering is straightforward—reserve ahead and select pickup or delivery. The kit is perfect for couples, small groups, and anyone who prefers relaxed, place-based dining over formal tasting menus. It’s also a thoughtful way to celebrate an anniversary, a quiet weekend, or to supplement a winery tour without booking a table.

Practical tips: keep chilled items cold until serving, use a small cutting board for presentation, and bring reusable napkins and a bottle opener if you’re adding wine. Sourcing is small-scale, so menus may vary; expect seasonal swaps rather than exact replication.

The Cellar Collection isn’t just about food; it’s a local supply-line that connects visitors directly with artisans. For travelers who want to taste Hunter Valley beyond the cellar door, it’s an eloquent, easy, and delicious shortcut.

Because the selection changes with the seasons, every visit feels new. Boxes are assembled by hand at the Cael's Gate cellar door and packed to travel—pick up at 697 Wollombi Rd or ask for delivery in Broke Fordwich to arrive chilled. The modest packaging minimizes waste; many items come in recyclable or reusable containers. Whether you’re arriving after a day of cycling the valley or winding down from a vineyard tour, the Cellar Collection is an uncomplicated way to taste the region. Order ahead. Pour a glass. Settle in.
