Every district has its pinnacle or diamond. Calais is our diamond in the Hunter region.

Very few wineries in Australia make sparkling wines in the 'methode Champenoise' Calais is one of the few and their results are outstanding. The tiny beads of the traditional method cannot be artificially created and the wines staying on the lees add a creaminess over time that is to be treasured.

Our cellar door host Lana, was informative, interesting and involved in our experience at the winery. Her efforts with our luncheon picnic hamper were fabulous. The setting for the winery and vineyard was out of picture books.

Thank you for our diamond experience.

Five stars all the way! We ordered lunch platters for 4 and it could have fed 8. The assortment of meats, cheeses, crackers, fruit and sweet treats was amazing. Lana was being the tasting bar and couldn't have been better. She gauged our level of interest and knowledge of wine and catered for us perfectly.
Do yourself a favour and visit this winery, sit beside the vines and treat yourself.

My husband and I visited with our daughter this morning for breakfast. We sat upstairs on their gorgeous balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds. Coffee and breakfast was delicious. Service was warm and friendly.
As we came back down stairs, we met some friendly geese which wandered up from the pond. It was the highlight of our daughter's day! We will definitely be back!

This is about our fourth time here over the last five years. Love it. Sad about the last not so good reviews as our experience with the restaurant, the tastings and the wines have been amazing, to the point of wanting to buy Chardonnay reserve for more than $60/ bottle!!!(mind you the $40 bottle is nearly as good!)
