McCaffrey's Estate

A Winemaker for the Day

A unique Hunter Valley experience for wine lovers

Become A Winemaker for the Day

Step beyond the cellar door and into the heart of winemaking with one of the Hunter Valley’s most interactive experiences. Blend, taste, and craft a bottle of red that’s entirely your own.

Guided by a knowledgeable wine educator, you’ll explore the art and science of blending varietals—experimenting with flavours, discovering how different grapes shape aroma and structure, and creating your perfect mix. It’s a fun, hands-on session that ends with your very own personalised bottle to take home.

What to expect

  • A 90-minute guided wine blending workshop

  • Learn how different varietals influence aroma, structure and taste

  • Experiment with blending ratios until you discover your perfect mix

  • Bottle, cap, and label your own 750ml souvenir to take home

This immersive Hunter Valley experience invites you to play, learn, and connect with wine on a whole new level. Perfect for couples, families with grown-up kids, groups of friends, or corporate teams looking for a creative way to bond.
