Cellar doorOpen daily
BookingsWalk-ins welcome

NINETEEN Bar & Bistro sits within The Vintage Estate at Pokolbin, a relaxed room running lunch and dinner seven days a week from 11:30am. The kitchen turns out wood-fired pizzas, steaks and seasonal dishes, with cocktails, wine and craft beer alongside. Lunch runs to 3pm and dinner from 5:30pm to 8:30pm, so it covers most of the day.

Walk-ins are welcome, so no booking is needed for a casual meal. Sitting on the same estate as Peppers Hunter Valley and the Mezze cafe, it works as an easy lunch or dinner for anyone staying nearby or passing through on a day out. The wood-fired oven and the cocktail list point it at a relaxed afternoon or an early dinner rather than a set-menu occasion, though a larger table can still be booked through SevenRooms.
