Why we love it
A Relaxed Luxury Holiday Experience in the Hunter Valley
Nestled among rolling vineyards and overlooking manicured fairways, the award-winning Château Élan at The Vintage is one of Australia’s finest integrated golf, spa and conference resorts located in the heart of the famed Hunter Valley.
A destination as much for its breathtaking scenery as for its comprehensive offering, the resort offers luxury hotel style accommodation, four conference and event venues, an award-winning spa and Greg Norman-designed golf 18 hole golf course.
Food
Château Élan Wine Lounge is a luxurious space to sit back, relax and unwind with colleagues, friends or family while sipping from the ever changing wine offering sourced from the leading vineyards of the Hunter Valley region.
The scene is lux but comfortable, featuring a stylish array of local images and spanning view of the manicured Château Élan lawns from the covered balcony.
Legends Grill - Boasting a dynamic menu focused on seasonal and local produce alongside far-reaching views over the Greg Norman-designed golf course, the Legends Grill is the place for a fantastic Dinner – all enjoyed with a glass or two of one of the Hunter's finest wines.
Destination
Escape to flourishing wine country, where world-famous wineries, acclaimed restaurants, delicious local produce and luxurious hideaways await. Surrounded by magnificent natural beauty, and only two hours from Sydney, the Hunter Valley is an unrivalled destination that has delighted since vines first thrived in the 1820s.
With more cellar doors than any other wine region in Australia, one of the great pleasures of wine tasting here is the incredible breadth of flavour and character. While Hunter Valley semillon and shiraz have long been world-famous, you’ll also sip distinctive and innovative wines, from classic to newer varieties.
