The Little Wine Co is Ian and Suzanne Little's winery at Broke, open Friday to Sunday, with tastings seated among the barrels inside the working shed. The range leans hard into alternative varieties: Albarino, Vermentino, Gewurztraminer, Sangiovese, Barbera, Tempranillo and Montepulciano, alongside Hunter Semillon and Shiraz.
A tasting is $15 for six wines and a fortified to finish, with a local grazing board available for $45. For more, the $45 Winery Tour and Tasting at 10.30am adds a barrel tasting and two flights of four with a plate. If you just want a glass, A Little Bite pairs one with a cheese and charcuterie board and some gourmet tinned seafood. On Friday the cellar door stays open from 5pm to 8pm for the Sundowner, with wine and beer by the glass and a food menu that changes each week. The winery is sustainably certified, and same-day bookings are taken by phone if you are already in the area.
