A stunning boutique equestrian themed cellar door in the heart of the Hunter Valley

There are cellar door experiences in the Hunter Valley, and then there are cellar door experiences in the Hunter Valley like Dark Horse Vineyard!

Beyond the stone wall, two Black Caviar-coloured barns give the property its distinctive equestrian look. The estate combines an event venue, onsite accommodation and an active vineyard, all in the heart of the Hunter Valley.

The Stables is a custom-built, all-weather, American-style event venue that can host up to 170 guests. Nearby, The Barnhouse is a homestead sleeping up to six guests, with plenty of equestrian character throughout.

The vineyard spans 7.5 acres, with the first vines planted in the 1960s. Semillon and Chardonnay grapes are still harvested from the property and passed on to an award-winning winemaker.

While the estate has a private and peaceful setting, it remains close to the Hunter Valley’s wineries, breweries, restaurants and cafes. Golf courses, spas and Hunter Valley Gardens are also nearby, along with helicopter flights, warbird flights and hot-air balloon experiences.

For celebrations, guests receive exclusive use of the entire estate across two days, including the venue, accommodation, acreage and amenities. With Sydney within easy reach and plenty to explore nearby, Dark Horse Vineyard is well placed for a destination event in the Hunter Valley.

In addition to the wine Dark Horse Vineyard also doubles as a luxe homewares shopping experience. With a wine in one hand, take a browse through the beautiful range of homewares. From cushions to throws, to kitchenwares, all of which are beautifully framed by those dramatic horse portraits that you can’t help but get a little lost in.

Whether you're a horse lover or not you will absolutely fall in love with the Dark Horse Vineyard. Not just for its style and quality but for that beautiful country hospitality. It's a must visit on your next trip to the Hunter Valley.
