Squires Vineyard

Squires Vineyard is a stay on a 100-acre property at Belford, in the Sweetwater country between Pokolbin and Rothbury. The accommodation splits into a five-bedroom guest house and four two-bedroom suites, so the estate can take a couple in one suite or a group of up to thirty across the lot. Vineyards, dams and open paddocks make up the setting, and one suite takes dogs.

It suits a wedding or a group booking as readily as a quiet weekend for two, with event styling handled on site. The cellar door runs by appointment rather than set hours, so arrange a tasting when you book. Belford sits a short drive west of the main Pokolbin cluster, which keeps you close to the cellar doors without being in the middle of them.
