This is a casual, yet romantic way to enjoy great wine and food in the Hunter Valley without the fuss or formality of being seated in a restaurant. It’s perfect for a date, engagement, celebration, or even a ‘why not’ activity. Also, who doesn’t love cheese and the outdoors with their wine! The table is decorated with flora and only the best local cheeses, olives and house made dip.
