Hunter Valley Cooking and Wine School

PLAY at Hunter Farm. There is so much more to the Hunter Valley than wine tasting. Across our family-owned 100-acre property in Pokolbin, you can learn, taste, cook, ride, explore, meet the animals and get hands-on with a huge range of Hunter Valley experiences, all in one place.

Start with two of our most famous experiences. Our immersive Hunter Valley Wine School takes you beyond a traditional tasting to discover how wine is grown, made, tasted and understood, while our Hunter Valley Cooking School gets you into the kitchen for a practical, hands-on food experience.

But that's only the beginning. Discover PLAY at Hunter Farm and choose the experiences that suit you, your family or your group.

Get adventurous at Hunter Adventure Centre. Try Segway tours, archery, axe throwing, laser target shooting, electric bikes and other outdoor activities across the property.

Meet the animals and experience the country side of Hunter Farm. Spend time with our farm animals or enjoy horse riding and horse-drawn carriage tours through the Hunter Valley countryside.

Get hands-on with wine. Visit Hunter Farm Wines for a tasting, discover Hunter Wine Theatre, walk through the vineyard, try Grape Stomping or challenge your friends to Barrel Rolling.

Make something yourself. Alongside Cooking School, families, couples and groups can join hands-on experiences including pizza making and candy making. They are a fun alternative for visitors looking for something different to do in the Hunter Valley.

You don't have to drink wine to enjoy Hunter Farm. Farm animals, horses, carriage tours, Segways, archery, axe throwing, laser target shooting, cooking, pizza making and candy making make Hunter Farm a great destination for non-drinkers as well as wine lovers.

Families are welcome. With animals, food, outdoor space and activities for different ages and interests, Hunter Farm is a relaxed, family-friendly place to spend a few hours together in the Hunter Valley.

Couples and friends can build their own Hunter Valley day. Combine an activity with wine tasting, lunch, drinks or another experience rather than spending the day travelling from one attraction to another.

Groups can PLAY here too. Corporate groups, conferences, incentives and social groups can combine Wine School, Cooking School, grape stomping, barrel rolling, Segway challenges, archery, axe throwing and other activities into a tailored group experience.

Stay for beer, cocktails, wine and food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available at 4 Pines at the Farm Taproom & Bistro, with Barrel Bistro providing another dinner option. You can make an activity part of a meal, a half-day visit or a much longer day at Hunter Farm.

Want to stay longer? Accommodation is available onsite at Hunter Valley Resort + Farm, so your Hunter Farm experiences can become part of a complete Hunter Valley getaway.
