Spring Cellar Door Pick: Comyns & Co - Where Creativity Meets the Glass

Spring is the perfect time to explore the Hunter Valley, with the vineyards buzzing with new growth and the sunshine bringing a fresh energy to the region. This season, our pick for must-visit cellar door goes to one of our all-time favourites — Comyns & Co.

Tucked in the heart of Pokolbin at the Peppers Creek Village, Comyns & Co captures everything we love about Hunter Valley winemaking — passion, creativity, and a warm local welcome. Run by husband-and-wife duo Scott and Missy Comyns, the cellar door has a relaxed, contemporary feel, but what really stands out is the experience itself.

Scott is known for his innovative and expressive winemaking, crafting small-batch wines that tell the story of the Hunter in every sip. Expect familiar classics like Semillon and Shiraz alongside something a little more daring — think Vermentino, Sparkling Gruner Veltliner, or their standout “Dark and Tawny” blend. Each pour comes with genuine storytelling and a sense of fun that keeps guests smiling long after they leave.

The space itself is bright, artistic, and full of character, making it the perfect stop on a spring wine tour. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just dipping your toes into the Hunter scene, Comyns & Co offers an experience that’s approachable, memorable, and just a little bit different.

When you join a Chef’s Table Tour, we love introducing our guests to cellar doors like this — where the people behind the wines are as special as what’s in the glass.

So if you’re planning your next Hunter Valley wine tour this spring, make sure Comyns & Co is on your list. It’s a cellar door that celebrates the creative side of winemaking and showcases the Hunter Valley at its best.
