Forget rushing to a café or grabbing something on the go. This is morning, vineyard-style.
Breakfast in the Vines is all about slowing down, soaking up the fresh Hunter Valley air and starting the day somewhere a little unexpected, right in the middle of the vineyard, surrounded by rows of vines and golden morning light.
It’s relaxed, it’s beautiful, and it’s designed for everyone. Families with kids. Non-drinkers. Couples. Friends. The “we deserve a treat” crowd. The “we’re on holidays so why not?” crowd. There’s no one way to do it, and that’s exactly the point.
You’ll be welcomed with a generous breakfast hamper filled with fresh, local goodies, a mix of sweet and savoury bites, seasonal fruit, pastries and a few surprises along the way. Think picnic vibes, but elevated. Comfortable, delicious and made to be enjoyed at your own pace.
For those who want to indulge, yes, there’s wine. Because sometimes a morning glass in the vineyard just feels right. For non-drinkers, there are equally thoughtful options so no one misses out. And for kids? Space to explore, things to nibble on and the novelty of breakfast somewhere far more exciting than the kitchen table.
This isn’t a formal tasting or a structured experience. It’s about atmosphere. Sitting among the vines while the day wakes up. Birds overhead. Sun warming the rows. A sense that you’ve found a moment most people drive straight past.
Some guests come for a relaxed start before a day of exploring. Some come to celebrate a birthday, a visit from interstate or simply being together. Some just want a quiet moment, good food and a beautiful view. However you arrive, the experience meets you there.
And that’s the magic of it, it feels special without being complicated. Easy without being ordinary. A little indulgent, but completely down-to-earth.
After breakfast, the day naturally unfolds. Wander back to the cellar door, for a tasting with our expert Host. Then head off to explore the region. Let the kids burn off energy. Or just sit a little longer and take it all in.
Because sometimes the best moments aren’t the big ones. They’re the simple ones done really well, good food, great company and a vineyard waking up around you.
Breakfast in the Vines isn’t just a meal. It’s a mood. And it might just become your favourite way to start the day in the Hunter Valley.
