Hungerford Hill is set to create a new benchmark for winery tourism in Australia’s oldest wine region, Hunter Valley, NSW, creating the region’s first seated premium food and wine matching experience for visitors.
Visitors to Hungerford Hill, awarded the Hunter Valley’s best Cellar Door experience in the 2012 Hunter Valley Legends and Wine Industry Awards, will still have the option to partake in the familiar and casual ‘standing’ tasting session at the Cellar Door with Hungerford Hill’s knowledgeable staff. However, for those seeking a more premium experience and higher level of wine appreciation, the seated tastings will allow access to a range of premium, limited release and museum wines. The wine tastings will be matched to a specially created platter of matching tasting sized bites, prepared by award winning Muse Restaurant at Hungerford Hill.
Guests enjoying the seated tasting option, which will be known as the “Epic Experience”, will be taken through the wines and their food matches by a dedicated staff member in the comfort of an intimate setting in either the indoor or outdoor terrace, both boasting stunning views across the vineyards.
Following the wine tasting guests may choose to enjoy a cheese platter or a salumi platter with a glass of wine on the outdoor terrace.
