When is the best time to visit the Hunter Valley for a wine tasting?

The best time to visit the Hunter Valley for a wine tasting largely depends on your preferences and the experience you seek, which can be largely led by the lifecycle of the vineyard and the seasons.

March to May is often considered the prime season for Hunter Valley wine tasting. During this time, the weather remains pleasant, and the vineyards transform into a range of reds and golds as the grapevines change colours.

In the Hunter Valley, seasons are not just markers of change but opportunities for unique experiences. From the Tulloch Hunter Members Lunch in June to the Beer & Wine Festival at Rydges Hunter Valley, there's no shortage of events that showcase the region's vibrant spirit. 

Budburst occurs in mid-August to September, with the vibrant early shoot and leaf growth throughout September and October. New vintage white releases typically occur from April to August, and new vintage reds making their debut from September to December, inviting sunny afternoons and balmy nights.

The Hunter Valley also lights up during the holiday season with the Christmas Lights Spectacular at Hunter Valley Gardens, a visual delight for visitors. 

By December and January, berry ripening singals the impending harvest, a celebratory event that typically spans from late January to February or early March. The cycle then comes full circle as winter dormancy sets in from April to August, providing a well-deserved rest for the vines.

 

Is Tulloch Wines an Accessible Venue? 

Yes, mobility parking spaces are available with direct level access to our Cellar Door. Guide & Support dogs are welcome inside and other dogs on the balcony. If you have specific mobility requirements, please let us know so we can help to accommodate your arrival and visit.
