The spectacular outdoor event will showcase the generations of winemaking in the region with historic family wine companies McWilliams Mt Pleasant, Tulloch Wines and Tyrrell’s, dynamic family companies Glandore Estate and Scarborough Wine Co and awarded companies to include Tower Estate and Brokenwood Wines.  Wineries will offer their latest releases through to museum treasures and will include Hunter Valley Wine Show winning wines. This will be a great chance for Sydneysiders to treat themselves to a glass and a case or two of the hottest wines from this year’s celebrated producers.
