McGuigan Wines has unveiled its brand new cellar door in the heart of the Hunter Valley, located right next door to Tempus Two at Pokolbin’s Roche Estate.

It’s an expansive space that showcases all that this historic brand has to offer. Stepping into the sleek, modern cellar door, visitors will find themselves with plenty to explore. There’s the engraving machine, a rare gem that stands as the only one of its kind in the Hunter Valley. The wine and barrel walls set the ambiance, and offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship behind McGuigan’s acclaimed wines. 

The striking central bar with its lush velvet seats invites guests in for a tasting. There’s ample room to gather around the bar, and it’s the perfect spot for a spontaneous wine tasting – no booking needed for this free offering.

Off to the left is an intimate yet relaxed tasting room, where all the furnishings add a touch of elegance.

The space also features a history wall, narrating the rich tapestry of McGuigan's journey thus far. It's a nod to the legacy that underpins every bottle, adding a layer of depth to the tasting experience.

If the weather is sunny, there’s plenty of space to linger in the outdoor area overlooking Roche Estate’s gardens and vineyards.

Behind the scenes, the McGuigan team has worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless transition from old cellar door to new. Visitors can expect the same exceptional service and tasting experiences that McGuigan is renowned for.
