This time of the year is the best time to visit Margan Wines in the Hunter Valley than during harvest. This is when our single vineyard fruit moves from vineyard to winery and the next vintage begins to take shape. Taking place on our Broke Fordwich estate, harvest is a hands-on, high-energy period that brings together a full year of vineyard work in just a few short weeks. Our Ultimate Margan Experience offers visitors a rare behind the scenes winery tour and tasting during this important stage of the winemaking process.
Harvest marks the culmination of the growing season across our Hunter Valley vineyards. At Margan, harvest takes place across our Broke Fordwich estate, with each single vineyard block picked at optimum ripeness based on flavour development and balance. This careful approach allows us to capture the character of each site and showcase the unique expression of Broke Fordwich fruit in every wine.
Visiting between January and March means you’re stepping into a working Hunter Valley winery. Guests can see fruit being processed, observe fermentations underway and experience the process of vintage firsthand. This immersive wine experience goes beyond a traditional cellar door tasting, offering a deeper connection to how Margan wines are grown and made on the estate.
For visitors looking for authentic Hunter Valley wine experiences, winery tours in Broke Fordwich, and estate-grown food and wine experiences, harvest at Margan is the ideal time to visit.
