Margan Restaurant & Wines
Margan Wines was established in 1996 and Margan Restaurant opened its doors a decade later. As the pioneers of Agri-Dining in the Hunter Valley we are committed to our ‘estate grown, estate made’ ethos.
We craft our menus around the harvest from our one-hectare kitchen garden & orchard to maintain a hyper-local focus. In addition, we have our own olive trees, free range chickens, beehives and raise our own lambs, all of which is incorporated into our menus. We offer range of behind-the-scenes tours, masterclasses and culinary experiences.
We love to champion the quality produce of the region and collaborate with our neighbours and farm gate producers for olive oil, poultry, milk and sustainably reared animals. The Hunter Valley used to be an ancient seabed millions of years ago but now is an inland region. For seafood we source from the coast of Newcastle and Port Stephens and only use sustainable species.
We are proud to be one of the ‘must do’ restaurants in the Hunter Valley with a consistent annual Good Food Guide recommendation (One Chef Hat), and regionally awarded in Gourmet Travellers and Best Restaurant . Our wine list features Margan wines plus local, National and International favourites and is continually awarded 2 Wine Glasses (Australian Wine List of the Year Awards).

Hidden Gem? Great place for a delicious and leisurely lunch.
The degustation style menu was decidedly scrummy.
The whole time spent there was very pleasant - giddens5bb
Awesome experience, awesome staff, quality food - a must do in the Hunter My partner finished dry July and we decided to celebrate with "the Ultimate Margan Experience". We arrived early which was no issue, served bubbles on arrival. Next we ventured with Jess to complete a vineyard tour. Her knowledge, friendly personality and enthusiasm for the industry was refreshing and she gave us a great tour through the garden, barrell hall and winery facilities. The 5 course meal that followed was awesome and all staff were professional and knowledgeable.
Following lunch we had a wine tasting to try the rest of the wines that we hadn't already tried. The staff member who served us was super friendly and gave great background to all the wines.
Overall everything was impressive, if you do one thing in Broke do this!! - emilygX7087IV
