Mount View: Vineyards, Panoramic Views and Cellar Doors

Mount View lies on the southern edge of Pokolbin, surrounded by the greenery of the Brokenback Range. The landscape combines hills, terraced vineyards and expansive views: from Bimbadeen Lookout, on clear days you can see as far as Stockton Beach near Newcastle and the Barrington Tops. There are also cellar doors and restaurants on the hills. So you can shape your stay in Mount View around the scenery and views, or around different wine experiences.

Mountain Views at Bimbadeen Lookout

Bimbadeen Lookout is a bushland area maintained by Cessnock City Council. From there, you can see several mountains, including Mount Sugarloaf; on clear days, the view also extends to Stockton Beach near Newcastle and the Barrington Tops. Coast and mountain country come together in the same viewing experience. The bushland at the lookout creates a distinct landscape setting from the terraced vineyards along the drive. For travellers who want to start by taking in Mount View’s scenery, this contrast offers a practical reference point for planning.

Through the Vineyards to the Hills

From Nulkaba, the route follows Wine Country Drive to Mount View Road and continues to the hills of Mount View. There are views along the way; the road winds through terraced vineyards and climbs to wineries and restaurants on the hills, which offer panoramic views of the region. The drive through the vineyards brings the landscape into view from the outset, while the higher destinations open up expansive vistas. If you are planning the drive, check the latest road conditions beforehand.

Cellar Doors with Different Highlights

Mount View Estate offers curated wine tastings at its Mount View location. Savannah Estate in Mount View offers an immersive cellar-door experience that goes beyond a wine tasting. The two places therefore offer different highlights: a curated tasting or a broader cellar-door experience. Before visiting Mount View Estate, check the latest booking details; for Savannah Estate, it is worth checking the latest visitor information.

Wine Origins and Family History

Petersons Family Wines adds a historical perspective: its cellar door in Mount View has been the family business’s home and headquarters for more than 45 years. The winery’s long connection with Mount View adds a sense of history to the views and different visitor experiences.

Tallavera Grove Cellar Door is also in Mount View. It is home to wines from selected parcels of Davis Premium Vineyards in Orange (New South Wales), Stonefields Vineyard in Wrattonbully (South Australia), and the home vineyard in Mount View (Hunter Valley). The wines’ origins therefore span locations in New South Wales and South Australia as well as the home vineyard in Mount View. The cellar door’s location and the origins of these wines are two distinct geographical reference points.
