The view, the venue, the hospitality - all stellar. We’ve visited many wineries on the hunter and it’s hard to find a winery that ticks ALL the boxes that have a cosy, friendly vibe with very knowledgeable and friendly staff (plus their little furry helpers). We were able to slow down abit here and really take it all in.

We had a wonderful wine tasting with Jo and Carrieanne, along with their sweet, perfectly behaved dogs Harvey and Zen. They were both so incredibly hospitable, it truly felt like we were catching up with old friends.The cellar door has an incredibly cosy vibe with a beautiful fireplace inside, plus huge doors that open up to a beautiful view over the vineyards.This is a must-visit boutique winery in the Hunter Valley, with the advantage that it's a few minutes walk from both Draytons and Ivanhoe if you want to string a few tastings together.

The service was on point with a mix of the wine making process mixed with the sentiments of each wine. The tasting notes were accurate and the aroma jars intensified the experience allowing the boys of each wine to be fully realised. The tasting by the fire was perfect for the cold weekend and the sound ought bread with olive oil and mediterranean black salt flakes was a lovely addon between tastings. Highly recommend this winery for its views, friendly staff, cute canines and most of all its quality wines.

A lot of the reviews mention views and even though the Hunter is full of beautiful views this place really had spectacular ones. And the wines were so so good! I have never bought a semillon ever but the reserve wine was amazing and I had to get one. Friendly service and not rushed through a substantial selection- it has convinced me to buy membershipUPDATE: came back with kids and husband and it was jsut as good and the dogs were present which was a highlight. Thoroughly happy with Bordeaux membership

Bonilla is my new favourite winery of the Hunter. Every wine we tried was exceptional even the varieties I typically don’t prefer. A beautiful experience with very knowledgeable and personable staff. Can’t wait to return
