The Great Cask Hall at Hope Estate is one of the most impressive Barrel Rooms in the country and one of the Hunter Valley’s most popular venue destinations. Part of the working winery at Hope Estate, The Great Cask Hall is surrounded by 59 enormous wine filled casks, each holding 4,500 litres of wine. These casks, along with the terracotta flooring and huge vaulted ceilings, give the room an ambience of baroque splendour. The Great Cask Hall is featured on The Farmer Wants a Wife and is the perfect space for medieval banquets, degustation dinners, masquerade balls or wherever your imagination takes you.

Harvest Restaurant is set at the top of the Hope Estate winery and next to the famous Great Cask Hall. Harvest features an incredible deck set high over the amphitheatre and vineyards with a 270 ° view over Wine Country, complemented by cutting edge design features, an open kitchen and stylish finishes. Harvest is an intimate space that flows out to the wrap-around deck, perfect for al fresco dining.

The Club Room is an exclusive area previously reserved only for Hope Estate Wine Club Members for private tastings. With glass bi-folding doors leading out to the newly constructed deck, the Club Room has been transformed into a breathtaking conference facility. The Club Room is also a perfect location to serve canapés during private wine tastings or host a team building activity, prior to heading to another part of the winery for a degustation lunch or dinner.

The newly constructed Terrace is a stylish paved outdoor area that is predominantly undercover on the ground level of the main winery building. The Terrace’s spacious open plan is the perfect location for a relaxed style corporate event that flows into the Hope Estate concert amphitheatre. The Terrace can also be used as a cocktail area after your team building activities conclude or a meeting place to enjoy canapés and pre-dinner drinks.

The New Winery at Hope Estate is one of the Hunter Valley’s largest venues, seating up to1000 guests. Hope Estate wine barrels are used to shape the venue to your size and specifications, transforming the New Winery into a unique and exciting corporate venue. On arrival guests are lead into the working winery past vats and barrels and into The New Winery function area. Nothing is impossible and ideas are just the beginning in this unique and versatile space. If the theme is spectacular and different, then the New Winery is what you want!

The Amphitheatre has taken the estate to a new level, creating an amphitheatre that holds 19,000 guests, becoming the Hunter’s premier wine destination.
