Winmark Wines is so much more than a winery: it’s in a class of its own when it comes to immersive experiences.

Recently shortlisted for Best New Winery in Australia by the James Halliday Wine Companion, Winmark Wines is swiftly making a name for itself as a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts and art lovers alike.

Karin’s vision

The story of Winmark Wines begins with Danish entrepreneur Karin Adcock, who acquired the historic 130-acre property in 2016. Formerly known as Poole’s Rock, the property is located in the picturesque Broke Fordwich region of the Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine-making region.

Under her stewardship, the estate has undergone a remarkable transformation. Karin, a savvy entrepreneur known for bringing the luxury jewellery brand PANDORA to Australia, has infused Winmark with her distinctive flair for design and excellence. The winery’s name – meaning “field of vines” – pays homage to her Danish heritage.

Winmark is rich not only in history, but also in natural beauty. The property sits on the fringe of Broke, a 200-year-old township framed by the ancient Brokenback and Hunter mountain ranges. You can see the stunning Yellow Rock escarpment and Poole’s Rock from the property, named after the convict Richard Poole, who slept in the rock’s hollow in the early 1800s.
