Hope Estate is perfectly located in the heart of Pokolbin, less than an hour from the centre of Newcastle. It is the ultimate location for estate produced wine, award-winning beer, small batch spirits, events and is home to Australia’s largest purpose-built winery amphitheatre which hosts an array of legendary international performers each concert season.

We're dedicated to making sensational estate-grown wines and following this philosophy, Hope Brewery opened early 2015. Guests can view the brewing process while enjoying a tasting paddle from the 12 varieties on-tap and pizza in the Brewhouse Café.  October 2020 saw the unveiling of the Cellar Door renovations coupled with the launch of Hope Distillery offering a range of Gin, Vodka and a Moonshine.

Our Cellar Door is open 7 days, visitors can enjoy a personalised tasting experience with our friendly and knowledgeable staff or drop by to choose from the huge range of canned beer varieties to take home.

The Estate has a number of function spaces that can cater for an intimate gathering to an extravaganza for a large crowd.  The famous Great Cask Hall is one of the most impressive Barrel Rooms in the country, it’s also featured on the Television series “Farmer wants a Wife”.

Along with the sensational concerts our amphitheatre is host to a growing number of lifestyle events including the Hunter Valley Cheese & Chocolate Festival and Hunter Valley Beer & BBQ Festival.
