Hungerford Hill

Hungerford Hill sits on the corner of Broke Road and Gillards Road at 2450 Broke Road, a boutique winery with a modern cellar door, an outdoor patio and the award-winning MUSE Restaurant. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, the patio and lawns, so it works as either a relaxed tasting stop or the start of a longer lunch.

Where the dog goes. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio and lawns, which is where to do the tasting with the dog. The indoor cellar door and restaurant are people-only, so check with staff and plan to be outside. Water bowls are often provided.

The rules. Dogs must be well-behaved, vaccinated and on a lead at all times. Keep the dog with you on the patio and bring your own bowl as backup.

What is there. Hungerford Hill is known for cool-climate-style Hunter wines, particularly Shiraz and Chardonnay, with panoramic views to the Brokenback Range. MUSE Restaurant is the high-end dining option indoors if part of your group is off dog duty.

Getting there. Corner of Broke Road and Gillards Road, central Pokolbin, with ample on-site parking and easy access to walk the dog round to the outdoor areas.

When to go. The patio is best on a clear day for the view. As a Broke Road landmark it gets weekend traffic, so come earlier or mid-week for a calmer outdoor spot with the dog.
