A real working family vineyard - Great to spend time with Declan and the team who were happy to share their expertise and experience. Always good to visit a real family working vineyard and meet the owners.

The real thing - a genuine family working vineyard - A very enjoyable and informative wine tasting session with Declan and the team who were very willing to share their great knowledge and expertise with guests. It makes a real difference to meet the genuine grape grower and winemaker in a family working vineyard.

Excellent! - Good wines and excellent hosts. We had a good time while drinking good wine. We specifically liked “The Frenchman” and their Rose.

Great Cellar Door Experience - Our group had a fabulous experience at McCaffrey's Estate. Chris had our usually 'chatty' group enthralled from the moment he started the tasting. Whatever you pay him, he's worth double as we were sorry we had to leave. The wines were fabulous too.

Stories - Had the pleasure of spending not one hour but 2 hours at McCaffrey Estate, tasted some beautiful wines, with some complimentary cheeses. Thoroughly enjoyed the stories told by Chris our host, lots of laughs and a little bit of learning as well. Thanks Chris we enjoyed out time in your company and I’m sure we will return. We all purchased some quality wine. I particularly enjoyed the ‘Whistler’ Shiraz and the story that goes with the wine. Cheers Chris, Declan and Danielle.

Wine, cheeses and professionalism .. you cant go wrong - This is one little place that is truly worth visiting.
We entered and where shown true hospitality by the lovely young lady, very informative and easy to relate to. All credit to her. It was all easy on the eye and palate..
The Cellar Door oozed a feeling of luxurious professionalism and knowledge.. it was most impressive.
The wines where terrific and we walked away with our share. Well worth the visit.

Lovely Cellar Door + Great place to stay - Took part in the wine tasting on our first day in Hunter Valley. Had booked into one of the cottages too, so was great to have our first tipple so close to home after the drive up. Tasting room was very cute, we tried a variety of wines and (despite having multiple favourites amongst the group!), top of the list for me was the Verdelho. Loved the afternoon tasting and it was great meeting and chatting to Danielle later on too - super chilled Cellar Door experience and an amazing place to stay. Will be back!
