About US
First settled in 1865 Glandore sits at the base of the Brokenback Range on Broke Rd in the famed Hunter Valley region of New South Wales. Blessed by a unique terroir and with access to some of the Hunter’s most distinguished ‘old vine’ vineyards our wines are fastidiously made and distinguished by their remarkable character and intensity of flavour.
Boasting a 150T winery onsite, all our wines are crushed, fermented, and vinified by our winemakers. They are by nature handmade and deliver both intensity of flavour and complexity with rare finesse. Selecting fruit from the Hunter Valley, Hilltops and Tumbarumba regions of NSW our winemakers are crafting wines and styles that perfectly represent these places. The right grapes from the right region allows us to pour you the best wines possible.
Whenever you choose to visit us, our “Hunter Valley Cellar Door of the Year” tasting room is a truly 5-star experience. The cellar door team are all passionate about wine and will guide you through a bespoke tasting experience while nestled amongst the vines of the beautiful Hunter Valley.
We are always keeping an eye out for interesting new varieties, though our core range of traditional classics and contemporary alternate varieties keeps our winemakers invigorated and our cellar door experience fresh and enticing.
The perfect way to enjoy Glandore wines is with friends and great food but the best way to get your hands on them is by becoming a Cellarhands Member. With first options on new releases, dinners, special events and wines made just for you, we offer an enviable wine journey for all our members.

Doesn’t mind a few hours on the golf course either.
