Planning a Visit to Ivanhoe Wines
That’s a tough one — Hunter Valley is full of gems. But if you’re after hilltop views, a warm welcome, and wines that speak for themselves (sometimes loudly, after a few sips), Ivanhoe is a must. We’re proud to be one of the region’s favourites — just ask our regulars, or better yet, come taste for yourself.
Right here! You can book a seated tasting at Ivanhoe online or by giving us a call. We’re known for unforgettable tastings with serious views.
Bookings are essential for all tastings. We want to give you our full attention — and our best wines. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows, but it’s best to lock it in. You can easily book a tasting online here.
Our $10 seated tasting includes up to 6 wines chosen to suit your palate, plus insights from your host to help you discover what you love. Water is complimentary, and kids get a juice, activity booklet, and colouring pencils — we like to keep everyone happy.
Yes! Our Premium Tasting is $30 and includes exclusive wines, a personal wine consultant, and a gourmet Hunter Valley cheese platter served with olives, dried fruit and quince paste. It’s a pretty luxe way to spend an afternoon.
Groups of up to 8 guests are welcome, and we’ll make sure everyone has a good time (and a full glass). Bigger groups? Get in touch and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
We are! Kids are welcome at our cellar door, and we’ve got colouring books, pencils, and juice to keep them entertained while you taste.
Yes — we love dogs. Well-behaved pooches on leads are welcome on the verandah and outdoor areas.
Anytime the wine is flowing (which is always). But spring and autumn are especially beautiful, with vineyard colours that rival the wines.

Absolutely. In fact, Ivanhoe Wines is a top-rated experience, just ask TripAdvisor! We’re the perfect place to start or end your day, especially if you want to learn a little, sip a lot, and leave with a smile.
Start day one with a morning tasting at Ivanhoe Wines (we recommend booking a Premium Tasting — cheese and views included), then explore a few nearby cellar doors, enjoy lunch at a local winery restaurant, and watch the sun set over the vines with a glass of Shiraz in hand. Day two? Sleep in, visit the Hunter Valley Gardens or take a hot air balloon ride, and stop back at Ivanhoe to grab a few bottles to take home.
