Chardonnay, art and sculptures await in Broke

Cellar door experiences in the Hunter Valley can be discovered in all shapes, sizes and experiences. From your traditional, more rustic style cellar doors, right through to those ultra modern structures, and everything in between.

Then you come upon cellar doors like Winmark Wines.

Located on Wollombi Road in the beautiful region of Broke, Winmark Wines is the hard work and accidental business of Danish-born entrepreneur Karin Adcock, who prior to being a vineyard owner was better known for bringing the jewellery giant PANDORA to Australia.

Meeting Karin on a particularly stunning Broke day, Karin explained, as we jumped in the buggy to tour the property, just how Winmark Wines came to be, Laying dormant for more than five years many of the blocks of vines had died, for those that had weathered the dry climate and many Hunter Valley storms, Karin and her team went about reviving them, a process which took more than three years.

“In the first harvest we only pulled out 7 tonnes of grapes, now we’re pulling out more than 75+ tonnes, which is amazing to see that growth in only five years.”
