Nestled along the Broke Fordwich wine trail, Talits Estate stands as a breathtaking French Provençal-inspired gem. This family-owned vineyard boasts a homestead, expertly crafted by French architects to mirror the charm of Aix En Provence.
Within its 50-acre expanse, it offers lush vineyards, well-maintained gardens, and vibrant olive groves. Visitors have the chance to indulge in a sophisticated wine tasting experience at the cellar door or opt for a luxurious, cozy winter weekend stay in the homestead itself.
Immersed in the breathtaking splendor of the Australian countryside, adorned with the luxurious elegance of Provençal architecture, Talits Estate beckons guests into a world of sophisticated grace. Here, every visit transforms into an unforgettable experience in the heart of Hunter Valley.
In winter, Talits Estate becomes the quintessence of a cozy weekend retreat. Secluded from the well-trodden tourist path, it radiates tranquility and seclusion.
Gayle Meredith, the vineyard’s proprietor, champions the philosophy of offering guests a sumptuous haven akin to a luxurious second home. The estate’s environment, with its French-inspired la parterre, echoes the exquisite European artisanship of the property. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in this serene oasis before delving into a bespoke wine-tasting session or venturing to nearby Pokolbin, merely a 15-minute journey from the estate.
For the owners, Talits Estate is more than just exquisite wines and stunning landscapes; it’s a haven for diverse entertainment. Meredith shares, “At our cellar door, guests are greeted with a crackling fireplace, outdoor and indoor games, fantastic service and of course great wine and grazing boards. Guests can relish fromage and charcuterie from top local providers alongside our distinguished wines and craft beer”.
Meredith emphasizes their dedication to offering an unmatched cellar door experience in Hunter Valley, fueled by a vision for winemaking and guest experience “The positive feedback on our guest house and wines over the years has been overwhelming, enabling us to extend the Talits Estate ambiance to a wider audience.”
