Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this tour takes you beyond the highlights and into the neighbourhood where Newcastle’s creative and culinary identity comes to life. You’ll visit a selection...
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.
Indulge in a flight of four wines aptly named “Ask for NSW Best”, which together have amassed an incredible seven trophies, including NSW Wine of the Year, NSW Best White Wine, NSW Best Chardonnay, NSW Best Alternative Wine, and NSW Best Rosé.
Settle in at your own pace and sip your way through the flight in the relaxed elegance of Ms Mary. With a beautiful outdoor terrace, striking architectural design, and a distinctly Newcastle energy, it is the perfect setting for a city cellar door moment that feels both polished and approachable.
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.
