Harkham is a small family owned winery in the Hunter Valley. Eighteen harvests in, the philosophy hasn’t changed. The fruit is handpicked. The process is minimal. The result is wine that tastes exactly like where it came from. The soil, the sun, the rain, the Hunter Valley itself.
Not a manufactured product.
A product of nature.

Made rarely
The Reserve
Then there are the reserves.
In exceptional years, something shifts.
- 01Whole bunch fermentation with stems.
- 02A touch of sulphur to a select few barrels.
- 03Eighteen months in oak.
- 04Bottle aged until the wine is ready, not when we need it to be.
Where the wines are made, and best enjoyed
TheCellarDoor
Framed by the spectacular Brokenback Range in the heart of Pokolbin, the Harkham cellar door offers one of the Hunter Valley’s most iconic views.
Taste the full range of Harkham wines, including reserve wines you won’t find anywhere else. Richie Harkham is regularly in the cellar door sharing the stories behind the wines, creating an experience that’s as authentic as the wines themselves.
The Restaurant
Long lunches. Shared plates. Natural wine.
After nearly twenty years of making wine, Richie built a space for people to experience it properly.
Long lunches that turn into late afternoons. Seasonal food designed to share. Natural wines poured where they’re made. Cocktails, firelight, music and the quiet rhythm of the Hunter Valley.
The kind of place people arrive for lunch and leave after sunset.
CORPORATE TASTINGS
Private experiences for teams and organisations.
Something beyond the boardroom. Private tastings hosted by Richie Harkham, in the Hunter Valley or brought to your boardroom.
Discover Harkham wines through the stories behind each vintage, the philosophy of natural winemaking, and the journey that built the estate.
Relaxed, engaging, and led by the person who made the wine.
