Restaurant Botanica

A few words from Restaurant Botanica

DINE
Hidden among grapevines and gumtrees just 10 minutes from Pokolbin, a Modern Australian menu has been created with a focus on freshly sourced ingredients, local cuts of protein and produce from their own garden, ensuring every dish tastes as spectacular as it looks. Showcasing the Hunter region is central to the Botanica ethos. What the kitchen can't grow, they source seasonally from a host of small-scale farmers or from the surrounding country.

STAY
Spicers Vineyards Estate is the ideal base from which to explore everything the Hunter Valley has to offer, with seasonal dishes effortlessly matched with wines from the Hunter – Australia's oldest wine region – while the onsite Spa Anise adds to the feeling of rejuvenation and appreciation of life that comes as naturally at Spicers Vineyard Estate as appreciating the latest vintage.

The Estate has just 12 luxury suites plus a separate four-bedroom Vineyard House (with private pool), each with its own fireplace and spa facilities, set among 22 glorious acres scattered with majestic gum trees, vineyards and the Brokenback Range framing the horizon.

The spacious country estate is ideal for intimate events and long, convivial days and nights enjoying some of the region's finest cuisine and wine with friends, family or colleagues.

Spicers Vineyard Estate is the perfect romantic base to experience life and explore the delights of Hunter Valley with a hot air balloon flight, or swoop over wine country on your own helicopter tour or pick up one of our gourmet picnic hampers and find your sweet spot in the shade.

Restaurant Botanica and the Estate are a two-hour drive from Sydney or one hour from Newcastle; Sydney Airport is 190km away, Newcastle Airport is 80km. Transfers are available upon request.
