Dissapointed. I've always loved Cockfighters Ghost wines but when visiting the cellar door we weren't given a friendly greeting, in being asked if we were all tasting we were told for 7 people we needed to book. Understandable, sort of, but who books when heading to the Hunter Valley? Anyway, it wa...

What stunning views and such serenity. This is the second time I have visited cockfighters and once again I was not disappointed - Donna provided us with a wonderful private wine tasting while we chatted and enjoyed their delicious wines! Will be back for sure next time we visit!!

We visited the cellar door at a busy afternoon, but the service was still outstanding. We feel very grateful for Phil s great presentation of the story of the winery and the wines. The view is amazing and the wine is exceptional. Will definitely visit again.

One of our favourite wineries we have ever been to. We sat on the terrace outside with stunning views over the water and hills, and the wine was the best we tasted in the whole Hunter. Kat our host was fantastic, so attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. We left very happy and with a few bottles of w...

Best wine we tried on our recent trip to the Hunter Valley, by far! The 2006 liqueur shiraz and the accurately dubbed 2015 'The Legend' cab shiraz merlot blend were the standouts of what was fantastic tasting experience. Special thanks to Phil, the manager, who took us through each selection expertl...

This was the Hunter Valley cellar door experience I'd been looking for. A casual intimate atmosphere made personal by Phil Thompson (cellar door manager) who's endless enthusiasm and knowledge of both the area and the wine made for a perfect experience. No pressure to buy, but how can one not, when ...

I took my partner here in June for his birthday. We landed by helicopter and were welcomed by Phil. Phil was amazing and satisfied our needs. He is full of knowledge and we learned a few things about wine. The staff were friendly and I can happily say my partner said it was the best birthday present...

Went for the second time in six months today. Phil was there again, such a nice guy and made for a very enjoyable experience. Great range of wines, reasonably priced - something for everyone. Beautiful outlook overlooking the vineyards and dam.

I've been here twice for tastings, and their staff is always wonderful and great to chat with about winemaking. They really know their stuff. I would always choose their premium tasting from Poole's Rock, the superior label. Delicious wines, with great service. Will always recommend to others x

The service from "John" was amazing, text book perfection. Unfortunately, the food was extremely inconsistent. Entree was great for few and poor for others, while Main followed the same pattern.
Ultimately, the combination of luke warm and dry meals wouldn't be recommended. Though as an optimist, I...

An excellent experience tasting wines, even during the hectic Easter weekend period. Donna looked after us, giving our small group undivided attention. The wines are delicious and excellently priced, particularly in comparison with Audrey Wilkinson winery, also owned by the same group.

A surprisingly incredible experience, tasting way more wines than we were supposed to. Accidentally stumbled upon a remarkable 2006 liqueur Shiraz that reminded me of Willy Wonka as the flavors transformed across the palate. Ask for Phil McGlass (Phil Collins), he'll be more than generous and take y...

We came in a party of 3 and was served by this amazing woman named, Tress. She was holding down a full room (there were 4 tables for tasting) all by herself and still manage to give each of the group (including us) her 100%. Granted we had to wait a while before being served which was ok since we w...
