WELCOME TO THE MISTLETOE WINERY WEBSITE.

UPDATE – AUGUST 21st 2021

Well, here we are another weekend in shutdown.

We miss you,all of our wine-loving friends who cannot travel.

It is so quiet here in the Valley currently that we get excited when we see a car going past.

Spring is in the air and we have had the most magnificent spell of fine weather of late.

Cold nights with temperatures getting down to -1 C ( still getting frosts) but followed by beautiful cloudless warm days up to 23 or 24 degrees.

We love all the seasons here but Spring is special after along cold Winter such as we have experienced this year.

We are currently closed to visitors and have been for over a month now.

Who knows when we shall get back to normal trade?

We are able to ship wine (must be an essential service) if you would like to place an order.

Extra Special pricing for our mail list members runs until the end of August.

Join our no-obligation mail-list and get yourself some lovely wines at Great prices.

Hopefully sanity will prevail and we can get back to welcoming people back to the Hunter in the not too distant future.

We are looking forward to welcoming you!

JAMES HALLIDAY – AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION 2022 has just been released and Mistletoe has been upgraded to the highest possible rating.

We can now say that all the blood,sweat and tears we have contributed to producing the best wines possible over the past 30 years has been worthwhile.

Established by the current owners in 1989 Mistletoe is a unique, boutique, family owned and operated winery.

With three generations of our family involved in the day to day operations it is a great example of a passionate Australian family business.

  Now in its 31st. year Mistletoe is a proven, and  consistent maker of high quality table wines.

Mistletoe is not just another Cellar Door, it is a genuine working vineyard and winery.

All the wine we sell is made in our dedicated onsite winery and is exclusively available for purchase at our cellar door which also is home to Pokolbin Fine Art Gallery and the Mistletoe Sculpture Garden.

We pride ourselves on the friendly welcome ,and courteous, knowledgeable service, that our family members extend to each and  every visitor.

Our approach is to treat every customer in the way we like to be looked after ourselves.

“Quality without compromise”

is our motto and we employ  this approach at every stage of the wine-making process from the vineyard, through the winery and into the bottle and the attention afforded to visitors to our winery cellar door.

Because of this meticulous attention to detail  we have been rewarded with many, many hundreds of awards and accolades.

We are regarded in the wine-making community as “ punching well above our weight”.

We invite you to call by, taste the wines, enjoy the interaction with our family and learn why Mistletoe is a special place that Hunter visitors return to time and time again.

We look forward to welcoming you,

Ken and Gwen and all  The Mistletoe Family.
