About This Experience

Maurice O’Shea planted the Old Vineyard in 1921. A century on, Hunter Valley Winemaker of the Year and Chief Winemaker Adrian Sparks walks you through it, sharing how O’Shea’s famous championing of Pinot Noir blended with Shiraz still shapes Mount Pleasant’s winemaking. Behind the scenes in the winery, taste directly from tank and barrel as tradition meets innovation. Then retreat to the private dining room for a curated tasting of rare and distinguished wines from O’Shea’s original vineyards — some valued between $325 and $2,500 per bottle and rarely opened outside this experience — headlined by the flagship 2023 Maurice O’Shea Shiraz, rated 98 points. Afterwards, private transfers carry you to a local restaurant with Adrian, where the conversation turns to the vineyards, the wines and the enduring legacy of Australia’s greatest winemaker. • Walk and talk through the 1921 Old Vineyard with Adrian Sparks • Behind-the-scenes winery exploration with tank and barrel tastings • Private dining room tasting of rare O’Shea-vineyard wines, including the 98-point 2023 Maurice O’Shea Shiraz • Private transfers to a local restaurant with Adrian to finish
