Spicers Vineyards Estate, NSW

With its very own private estate of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes reaching gracefully upwards to meet the main guesthouse, Spicers Vineyards Estate invites guests to revel in the best of the Hunter Valley.

Gloriously reminiscent of the French countryside, the architecture is enchanting; the atmosphere refined; the mood relaxed. Exquisite gardens and shaded courtyards provide quiet sanctuary, while the light filled lounge and dining rooms bring people together to enjoy fine food, wine and conversation.

The luxuriously large guest rooms entrance their occupants, making it seemingly impossible to contemplate departure. For those that do wish to go further afield, an endless list of fine winemakers, distilleries, chocolatiers and gourmet food producers are waiting to be uncovered nearby. And whether you’re starting your journey of wine discovery or you’re a connoisseur, every taste is catered for, and the retreat’s expert team is always on hand to help guide you on your adventure.

The adventures and experiences at Spicers Vineyards Estate are relaxing and rejuvenating. From quietly reading a book in the garden to an indulgent treatment in the onsite Spa Anise, from a dip in the sensual pool to a catered picnic in the hills overlooking the valley, there’s plenty of ways to ease the mind and re-connect with a simpler pace of life.
