A great wine begins in the vineyard. At Stonehurst Cedar Creek Wines the fifth generation Heslop family remain committed to sustainable agriculture. The elevated trellis captures sunlight and airflow enhancing fruit quality and flavours. Vines are hand-pruned, and all fruit is handpicked. They use no insecticides and only organically approved fungicides.
The results of the labour of love are award-winning wines from a very healthy vineyard. The estate-grown selection of wines includes whites, reds, rose, sparkling and fortified.
Stonehurst welcomes you to enjoy a wine tasting at their sandstone Cellar Door - make a day of it and explore the Wollombi Valley Wine Trail. Stay in a vineyard cottage, relax, rest, enjoy.
Stonehurst are proud hosts of 'Sculpture in the Vineyards' - an exhibition of large-scale outdoor and unique indoor works, held biennially.
