LOCATION
Pokolbin is in the Hunter Valley, 90 Minutes north of Sydney.

DETAILS
Bimbadgen Estate offers a distinctive experience to tourist with four disctinct working areas all in one stunning destination - 30 year old vineyards, open plan, state of the art winemaking facilities, award winning restaurant and afour bedroom executive homestead and two bedroom cottage. Enter the gates of Bimbadgen Estate, head up the rose-clad drive and the first thing you will notice is the striking bell tower. Reminiscent of another great wine-making area, this fantastic Tuscan feature is also surrounded by acres of lush vines and gardens. The original vines were planted in the 1960's, and have been producing grapes that continue to be heavily in demand by the Hunter Valley's classic wineries. These vines are still producing premium quality grapes, full of flavour depth and intensity, which is now reflected in Bimbadgen's current range.

WEDDINGS
Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but only twp and a half hours by road from Sydney, Bimbadgen Estate offers an unusually elegant option for your wedding day. On entering Bimbadgen, a sweeping driveway leads you to beautifully cultivated gardens encircling a stunning fountain - the perfect spot for wedding photos or to meet and greet your guests. The winery itself, high on a hill, with golden light casting shadows over the endless rows of vines, or in the garden, is a wonderful location for the exchange of vows.
At Esca, the winery restaurant, no expense has been spared to create the most beautiful of settings for your wedding reception dinner. White linen tablecloths and napkins, fine china and glassware, and printed parchment menus are a standard for every wedding package. The restaurant seats up to 120 guests, with a minumum of 80 required to ensure your sole use.
Finally, for the wedding night, Bimbadgen Estate's accommodation in Bimbadgen Cottage, nestled among the vines, is a truly romantic, secluded hideaway. Or you may choose to stay in the luxuriously equipped Bimbadgen Homestead, perhaps in the master bedroom with its decadent spa bath.
