Our Cellar Door

Visit Our Hilltop Cellar Door

Perched on the crest of our vineyard, the Ernest Hill Cellar Door offers some of the most commanding views in the Hunter Valley, overlooking the majestic Broken Back Ranges and the rolling hills of Lovedale. Since opening in 2004, we have welcomed guests seven days a week to share in our passion for premium winemaking.

Whether you prefer the cool comfort of our air-conditioned tasting room or a relaxed "alfresco" experience on our outdoor deck, we have the perfect space for you. For our most loyal supporters, our exclusive VIP Club Members room provides a private setting to enjoy our latest releases. We invite you to join us and discover our signature wines, many of which are only available directly from our estate.
