Settle in at 1813's cellar door at the foothills of the Broken Back Range
The picturesque 1813 cellar door overlooks its property, Tinonee Vineyard Estate, 50 acres with rolling vines at the foothills of the Broken Back Range.
Perch yourself at the 1813 wine tasting bar or, for something a little more relaxed, take the lounge option in alfresco space. Complete with stunning views of the Brokenback Mountains and comfy lounges, this fully glassed-in area with artisan steel hand-made doors is an ideal place to appreciate the 1813 wines and add a bit of serenity to your day.
Book yourself a wine tasting of the seven estate-grown wines, a small serve of olives, and a piece of dark Lindt chocolate. You can see their upcoming cellar door opening days and hours on their reservation link, or alternatively email [email protected] with any questions.
Set across 50 acres of land at the foothills of the Broken Back Range, every aspect of Tinonee Estate has been carefully considered and manicured to absolute perfection.
Not new by any means, the original section of the homestead dates back to 1932, and in 2017 the cellar door was completely refurbished resulting in something quite extraordinary. In addition to the views and the peaceful setting Tinonee Vineyard Estate is also home to the 1813 wine label and their beautiful cellar door experience.
Launching in 2017, the 1813 label brings a serious collection of wines to the table. Local winemaker, Daniel Binet, has crafted an impressive range from Tinonee Vineyard Estate including a Moscato, Fiano, Verdelho, Rosé and a few delicious reds including their flagship Shiraz, The Governor.
If you prefer a more traditional wine tasting experience, perch yourself at the wine tasting bar or, for something a little more relaxed, take the lounge option in alfresco space. Complete with stunning views of the Brokenback Mountains and comfy lounges, this fully glassed-in area with artisan steel hand-made doors is an ideal place to appreciate the 1813 wines and add a bit of serenity to your day.
On a brisk autumn day, there’s nowhere else you’ll want to be than sitting by the state-of-the-art fireplace, with a glass of red in hand reconnecting with your people. Book yourself a wine tasting experience with a difference of the eight estate-grown wines, a small serve of olives, and a piece of dark Lindt chocolate.
The rich seam of red volcanic clay and sandy loams located by the Wollombi Brook are what differentiates Broke’s wine from other Hunter regions – a distinction that comes through in the aromas and flavours offered by each of the 1813 wines. There are eight in total and you’reencouraged to try them all.
What’s also to love about 1813 is the story behind the name. Called 1813 as a reference to the year that currency was first established in NSW, the label itself is an intricate depiction of the holey dollar, combined with the stamp of the dump that was punched out of the middle, creating two coins from one.
Prior to 1813 the sole currency of NSW was rum. It was through rum sales that Governor Macquarie was able to build a mint and establish legal currency in the state, in, of course 1813. Not long after this, work began on the Great North Trading route resulting in the settling of Broke way back in 1824.
The Broke area has come a long way since then, quietly developing into a quality wine producing region in its own right. With a plethora of accommodation options, fresh farm gate products, delightful cafes, a chef hatted restaurant, and of course, amazing cellar door experiences like 1813 at Tinonee Vineyard Estate, what’s not to love.
