Thirsty Palette is located in the heart of Lovedale.
Lovedale is the gateway to the Hunter Valley wine region when arriving via the Hunter Express Way
(the fastest and most convenient way to reach wine country).

Our vineyard provides a great contrast from the city you have left behind...
  • Visit our rustic cellar door with an eclectic range of wines, produce and handmade goods. You will be welcomed by Hugh and Jenny, who own the vineyard and run the cellar door.
  • Sample wines produced from grapes sourced from our our carefully managed vines just meters away from our cellar door. The vineyard has been responsible for many award winning wines over the years.
  • Take a short walk down to our vines to check out grapes.
  • Stay for a picnic overlooking one of our dams, outdoor games are also available for use.
  • Book a stay at Claremont Manor. It provides a unique experience of staying on a vineyard with stunning views across the valley to the Brokenback ranges. We welcome our guests booking a personal wine tasting.
  • Or just enjoy the view? the vineyard has a sensational aspect looking over vines and olive groves down the valley to the Brokenback range of mountains


Cellar Door

This cellar door feels like it has almost grown organically from the ground up.  It is most definitely an original and still bears the evidence as a winery in its past life. Part of the experience!

Claremont Manor

We cannot guarantee a hot air balloon will land within meters of the Manor house, balloons however are regular sight as are  kangaroos amongst the vines and extraordinary sunsets.
