Treat yourself with a visit to this boutique winery to discover recipes that perfectly accompany the exclusive wines – a memorable culinary experience.
At Saddler’s Creek Wines there’s an ethos that influences everything they do, namely: the only real wine is good "food wine". In other words, they believe that wine should always enhance the flavours of the food it accompanies, a belief that they try to instil in any visitors to the winery. Guests at the cellar door tastings will not only be given samples of the many exclusive blends on offer but also advice on the types of food that they go best with and even recipes for meals that bring out the best in the wines.While this association with good food has earned Saddler’s Creek plenty of attention, it is the excellent quality of its wines that has earned the winery a reputation as one of the best boutique wine producers in Hunter Valley.Set in the idyllic, countryside village of Pokolbin, at the heart of Australia’s oldest wine-growing region, the sandstone property and quiet vineyards are protected from the sounds of the outside world, making it a tranquil location to visit. You’ll be greeted by the welcoming staff as soon as you step inside the cellar door and, while most of Saddler’s Creek sales are made here, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.You’ll be encouraged to taste the wines that catch your interest or take the “Taste Flight”, which is a tasting menu that takes in the entire range. There is an array of flavours waiting to be discovered from Hunter Valley and many other of the country’s best-known wine regions.The exclusivity of Saddle Creek Wines is enhanced by the fact that some of its vintage bottles are only on offer to members of their very own Club Equus. It’s free to sign up and you’ll not only get invitations to tastings, but discounts too! The winery’s reputation among foodies is also enhanced by its association with a number of fashionable Sydney restaurants, where it holds popular wine-themed events.Saddle Creek Wines is in Pokolbin which is accessible by car, tour and bus. The cellar door is open daily, there’s free parking on site and there’s no charge for tasting the wines.
