The initial section with 26 Olive Grove rooms was inspired and loosely based on the design of a grand 14th century Tuscan Villa with pool and tennis court. A warm welcome awaits as you register in our guest lounge featuring an open fireplace. Experience life in a true vineyard location as you leave the privacy of your suites and walk through vines to nearby cellar doors and wineries.
The Resort also features a swimming pool, synthetic grass tennis court, and 20 acres of well manicured grounds. Relaxation and pampering is available with an Estate Masseur, although bookings in advance are recommended to avoid disappointment.

Dining at Tuscany Wine Estate
The Mill Restaurant is the toast of the Hunter Valley and specialises in contemporary Australian cuisine. Bask on the verandah with a group of friends for a long, lazy lunch, or enjoy a romantic dinner for two by the warmth of the open fireplace. The Mill Restaurant at Tuscany Wine Estate is uniquely Australian. With lashings of timber, polished floors and corrugated iron, the interior resembles a rustic tin shed.
An open fireplace and soft lighting set the mood for the evening while by day, the view across the vineyards and gardens to the Brokenback Ranges is awe-inspiring. The extensive wine list consists of exquisite Hunter Valley wines and most of the produce is sourced locally as well. The result - a quintessentially "Hunter" dining experience.
