EXCELLENT Based on 277 reviews Posted on Rachel Richards18 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The cellar door experience with wine & cheese was perfect. I didn't try a wine I didn't like. Do yourself a favour- Must try!!Posted on Codee Simpson18 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such an incredible experience at McCaffrey’s Estate doing their wine-making class. It honestly exceeded all expectations. Declan, the owner, ran the session and he was absolutely fantastic so knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made everything easy to understand without dumbing it down, and you could tell he genuinely loves sharing his craft. One of the highlights was getting hands-on and actually blending our own wines. It gave us a whole new appreciation for what goes into each bottle and helped us better understand what we’re tasting and why. It didn’t feel like a generic class at all it was personal, engaging, and really memorable. We walked away not only with great wine, but with a much deeper understanding of it. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Hunter Valley. We’ll definitely be back!Posted on Jessica Miller18 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely incredible experience making our own red wine. Declan was incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the whole process both fun and informative. Perfect activity for both my husband the red wine enthusiast and me who is new to drinking red wine. It was great to be able to do something different from the standard wine tasting, especially as regular visitors to the Hunter Valley. Definitely a highlight of our trip and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Hunter.Posted on Chris E18 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been visiting McCaffrey’s for a while now and it’s consistently a standout experience. The service always feels personal, with Declan and Danielle going above and beyond every time. We just wrapped up the ‘Winemarker For The Day’ and it was fantastic such a great atmosphere and experience overall and also took home my own blend. Highly recommend!Posted on Stephen Pougher11 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Declan and Danielle were so welcoming and full of knowledge and amazing stories on the origins of the names of their wines. I have never bought a white wine or tasted one I liked and here I am buying multiple white wines along with some beautiful reds too. Amazing hospitality and beautiful warm atmosphere. Looking forward to staying in the accomodation on-site and having another tasting. Thank you for a wonderful experience with my family.
