Here, teams of 2 to 10 take on a 60-minute challenge combining puzzle-solving with guided wine tasting, set within an atmospheric, darkened room filled with carefully crafted props.

Inside the cool, air-conditioned space at 381 Deasys Rd, participants dive into a narrative where a mysterious, mad winemaker’s lair awaits. Your mission: solve a series of clever puzzles to find the "immortal wine" and escape before time runs out. It’s a high-stakes encounter blending mental endurance with sensory indulgence—a getaway for the sharp-witted and wine lovers alike.

Unlike traditional outdoor adventures, this experience uses the unique local wine heritage and transforms it into an immersive game, making it a standout in Hunter Valley’s extensive offerings. The Wine Escape Room is perfect for small groups looking for an interactive bonding activity, whether couples seeking a novel date or friends chasing an adrenaline rush indoors.
