Golden vines, rolling hills, and intimate cellar doors—the Hunter Valley is full of extraordinary wine experiences, but there’s something uniquely special about exploring its boutique side. In 2025, skip the crowded tourist buses and discover a slower, finer, more authentic way to taste your way through wine country.

Here are six boutique wineries we adore—each one a stop on one of our tailored Coast to Cork wine tours. Whether you're drawn to sustainability, fine dining, rare varietals or handpicked hospitality, there's a cellar door here to suit your taste.
