Crystalbrook Kingsley – Ms Mary Ground Floor/282 King St, Newcastle

Hunter Valley icon First Creek Wines brings its cellar door to the city for the first time, popping up inside Crystalbrook Kingsley’s stylish lobby bar, Ms Mary, as part of Newcastle Food Month.

Recently named Halliday Winemaker of the Year and NSW Wine of the Year, First Creek arrives with an award-winning tasting flight that is sure to impress.

Elevate your tasting with a selection of thoughtful bites curated by Crystalbrook Kingsley Executive Chef Joey Ingram, designed to complement the wines and encourage lingering a little longer.

Whether you arrive with a practiced palate or simple curiosity, this is an invitation to slow down, discover, and savour some of the state’s most awarded drops, right in the heart of the city.
