Event Details

THE GLANDORE BURNING OF THE BARREL MADE THE TOP 50 WINE EXPERIENCES IN THE WORLD!

The Burning of the Barrel has quickly turned into an icon event of the Hunter Valley Food & Wine Festival and in 2018 was named amongst Gourmet Wine Travelers Top 50 Worldwide Wine Experiences! 

It is an absolutely spectacular evening where, in a nutshell, we build a bloody enormous fire, drink some very tasty wines, dine on some fantastic food, listen to some great music and have quite possibly the best night of the year in the Hunter Valley!

Each year we have something to live up to and last years event was just about perfect so we feel we are right on the money. Andy from the The Cellar Restaurant will be on the pans again dishing up an awesome fireside menu for you to enjoy, Black Forest Smokehouse will be stocking the charcoal BBQ, we'll have some cracking wines on show and Newcastle's Grainfed Brewery will be pouring a couple of tasty craft beers for the first time. The Burning Stage will be stocked with fantastic local musicians while the lunatics at KaBoom Fireworks have been planning something new. The Marshmallow Hut will be on again with treats, coffees and hot chocolates and the guys at Hunter Belle will be pumping out the cheese boards.
