One of my favourite wineries in the region, I've visited a number of times. Beautiful location, wonderful friendly service and hospitality from the very knowledgeable family who works the cellar door and shop. An excellent range of wines, something to suit everyone's taste. Nice little cheese platters too. Oh, and don't forget to say hi to the lovely dog Delta who lays around waiting for a pat. Highly recommended
Susan was a great host. Cheese platter was perfect. We bought nearly one of each wine.wines are amazing. Highly recommend. Relaxed atmosphere.
Our favourite winery in Hunter valley, absolutely beautiful location and stunning wine. I recommend getting lunch here while wine touring around the region. The owners are super friendly too. The reserve Chardonnay, 2021 Semillon, chambourcin and Dr VIII are our go to favourites!
Had such a wonderful tasting/wine journey with Cassie, thank you so much for taking the time to teach us about all the amazing wines made at Calais. We enjoyed this tasting experience a lot more than some of the other places so far and really enjoyed all the wines we got to try. Thanks again!
We booked a lovely Grazing picnic in June and it was beautifully set up for us! The portion size was big, and the hosts allowed us to book a picnic for 2 but we had 2 kids along with us. I booked ahead for no pork (not religious, just a preference) which the chef prepared wonderfully for us. After the picnic we went for a wine tasting. The young lady behind the counter was so knowledgeable passionate about the wines. She allowed us to taste according to our preferences instead of a fixed lineup. I ended up leaving with 5 bottles of beautiful reds. Definitely recommended!
