SIGNATURE ESTATE TASTING | Our complete Whispering Brook experience
Come and sit down with us for an hour. We’ll open six or seven wines. Our Portuguese varietals alongside the Hunter classics we’re known for, and tell you where they came from and why we made them the way we did. It’s relaxed, it’s unhurried, and the verandah has a view worth staying for. This is the best way to start at Whispering Brook. Bookings recommended, especially on weekends.
Duration: 60-80 minutes $30pp

PORTUGUESE VARIETALS AND CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCE| A unique tasting
Our first winemaking trip to Portugal in 2007 was the start of our obsession with amazing Portuguese wine varieties. Arinto and Touriga Nacional, two of Portugal’s greatest grape varieties now grow on our estate in Broke Fordwich. We were the first in the Hunter Valley to plant them, and we remain the only producer making them at this level. This tasting pairs each wine with a handmade artisan chocolate from Cocoa Nib, chosen to mirror what’s in the glass. It is 90 minutes of something genuinely different. If you’re visiting us, this is why. Bookings essential.
