Sacred Sites Vineyard Experience at Tyrrell's in Hunter Valley

The Hunter Valley is home to some of the oldest vineyards in the world. Tyrrell's Sacred Sites wines are made only from dry-grown vines that are more than 100 years old and grow on their own roots. The origins of most of these vines lie in the Busby Collection - cuttings brought to Australia from Europe by James Busby and planted in the Hunter Valley in 1832.

These sacred sites are some of the most distinguished pockets of vineyard land in Australia, having survived the test of time and consistently making exceptional wines that have their own distinct character and unique qualities. In 2004, Tyrrell’s decided to bottle these wines on their own and today they’re among the rarest in the wine world, often available only on allocation. Among these wines is their Old Patch Shiraz, which has been awarded a perfect 100-point score for the last four consecutive releases by influential wine journalist James Suckling.

Tyrrell's Sacred Sites Experience is one of the most unique winery experiences available, and the only time the Sacred Sites wine collection is available for tasting. Over 3 hours, you will enjoy a private and personalised tour of Tyrrell's Sacred Sites vineyards, located on the Ashmans property, followed by an in-depth winery tour and barrel tasting.

Finish the afternoon with a tutored tasting of the Sacred Sites collection, accompanied by a charcuterie board with locally sourced fresh produce.
