Operated by Stay n' Sip · Pokolbin, New South Wales
The Hunter Valley, located in New South Wales, Australia, is a world-renowned wine region known for its rolling vineyards, boutique wineries, and rich viticultural heritage dating back to the early 19th century. Within this landscape of sprawling grapevines and rustic cellar doors, Stay n' Sip offers a distinctive twist on wine country experiences—a private, immersive Gourmet Wine Tasting brought straight to your accommodation in Pokolbin and surrounding areas.
Launching a 1.5-hour journey through rare and back-vintage wines from boutique producers and private cellars, this experience redefines what it means to savor Hunter Valley’s finest. Rather than trekking between wineries, guests settle into comfort while professional wine hosts curate a seamless tasting of seven premium wines paired masterfully with five artisanal cheeses from Binnorie Dairy and two handcrafted chocolates from Cocoa Nib. These local accompaniments highlight the region’s diverse agricultural bounty beyond grapes.
What makes Stay n' Sip stand out is its blend of education and ease: hosts offer approachable insights into the history of the region’s hero grape varieties and the story behind each bottle, creating an inviting atmosphere that fits celebrations, corporate gatherings, or quiet indulgence alike. Their sophisticated non-alcoholic alternatives ensure inclusivity for all guests.
This mobile wine tasting experience is perfectly suited for anyone wanting a luxurious yet relaxed way to enjoy Hunter Valley’s iconic flavors without the hassle of transport. It’s an ideal complement to outdoor adventures, vineyard tours, or simply unwinding after a day under the expansive Australian sky.
