Tempus Two Cellar Door
Bold wines, striking architecture
schedule 1 min read / Updated Jun 2026
Tempus Two sits at the Roche Estate on Broke Road and cuts a distinctive figure in the Hunter Valley landscape, its angular zinc-clad architecture a deliberate contrast to the rustic heritage of the region. Inside, the cellar door pours a wide range of contemporary Hunter Valley wines alongside gin tastings and speciality experiences, making it one of the most versatile stops on the valley's wine trail.
The cellar door is open seven days a week and welcomes walk-ins, though advance bookings are recommended to avoid wait times on busy weekends. A standard tasting is excellent value, with the fee waived if you make a purchase, making it one of the more accessible introductions to Hunter Valley wine. The Copper Bar offers an elevated experience for those wanting something more immersive.
The estate also offers wine and chocolate tasting packages that pair cellar door exclusive wines with premium chocolates, a popular experience for couples and small groups. Located at the corner of Broke Road and McDonalds Road, Tempus Two shares the Roche Estate precinct with accommodation and dining options, and its proximity to Hunter Valley Gardens makes it a natural first or final stop on a day spent exploring Pokolbin.
