Relaxing and interesting visit - We had a fabulous stay at Cabernet Cottage at McCaffreys Wine Estate for 3 nights and we very much enjoyed the wine and cheese tasting while we were there. Declan and Danielle are excellent hosts and the cottage is very comfortable with beautiful views across the vines .

Enjoyed every minute of the wine and cheese experience - Superb and well presented, tjs wintry made our day. Declan was very welcoming and his winery is famous for its unwooded Chardonnay (actually a top tip from another winery). We enjoyed all the wines, though the Chablis style Chardonnay was our favorite. Wine and cheese are a fab combination and this winery didn’t disappoint. Thank you Declan for a great experience.

Great Wine Tasting! - Fantastic wine tasting experience, Declan was a joy and very professional. His knowledge and patience with us was great, we really enjoyed all the wines offered to us and just wish we were able to buy more but coming from the UK that was always going to hard. Highly recommend....

Wine and cheese tasting - We visited McCaffrey’s estate after booking an appointment to the cellar door for wine and cheese tasting. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Declan was so friendly and answered all of our questions and we both learnt so much. The wine and cheese was delicious- the wine was some of the best we have ever tasted, we wished we lived closer to be able to take more home! If you are going to the hunter valley, you must go to McCaffrey’s estate! Thanks again for your hospitality Declan, it was great to meet you. Hayley and Kristian

Fantastic Experience, great wines - Declan greeted us and brought us through the wine and cheese tasting. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole experience was relaxed and very enjoyable. The wine from the estate also is fantastic and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend to book this experience when you arrive in the hunter valley region and then you can book further ones from there if required. Me and my girlfriend had a lovely time.
