Hunter Belle Cheese Room Pokolbin

Fun spot to visit! $5 cheese tasting plate. Very yummy. Pretty grounds to look out on. Little shop with some beautifully painted wooden boards, picnic tables, and salt and pepper shakers etc....

Wow outstanding 🤗🤗 best most amazing high cheese 🧀 😁 highly recommended. We had the ash brie, pepper vintage and cranberry vintage 😄 with a chocolate and blueberry fudge, blueberry friand and cheesecake brownie 😍💕

Great cheese and wine tasting. Our cheese expert Shelby was so knowledgeable, friendly and very passionate about her job. A must visit and ask for Shelby.

Really lovely place with welcoming, friendly and cheerful staff. We did the high cheese and it was fabulous!!! It definitely had a family runned feeling about it which added to the amazing experience.

One of the short activities that you can do, down at Hunter Valley is to visit this really nice cheese place. They've got nice cheeses to offer.

Lovely tasting experience, you pay $5 each to taste, and you get to taste about 5 cheeses, which gives you a pretty good idea their range. Very helpful and knowledgeable service. They have a lot more than five cheeses available, and I believe that their cheese is expensive for the size of the package you get. You can eat the whole packet in one sitting and come back for more, so it would be nice to be able to get a packet big enough to last at least the journey home!!
They have lovely local ice cream there as well. The small charge to taste makes you feel a lot better, that you can taste and not buy anything.
We love ALL Hunter Belle Cheese! Just can't afford to buy it all the time!!

My wife is lactose intolerant and I had to drag her to the cheese tasting but she ended up loving it. Shelby was so nice and taught us so much about the cheeses and the wine parings. We have since found out that the cheese is sold locally so we will be getting more of the Ash Briebelle as it is so creamy and delicious. While there are many places on our day long wine tour that we thoroughly enjoyed, Shelby and the brilliant cheese made Hunter Belle an absolute standout.

Came here for some cheese. The person at the counter, (unfortunately forgot to ask for her name), was beyond helpful and amazing. We tried cheese tasters and then bought some to take home. She even put some ice packs to help them last all the way to Sydney. She was amazing and the company is lucky to have her working there. Well done on your customer service skills. Top notch. Will be back again for sure, hopefully the service is still as good.

Also: the cheese was amazing too. Loved all the ones that we tried. Purchased 7 to take home.

Highly recommend the cheese tasting which was $5pp including 5 cheeses (soft and hard) and crackers! 🧀
Cheeses were exquisitely made and of high quality! Tasty and very enjoyable😚
Each cheese was introduced in a basic manner and we were left to taste them at our own pace🥸
They also offer gelato and fudge (which we did not try🤨)

The BEST coffee around the winery's , great cafe , clean with plenty of seating inside and outside. Clean toilets with disabled toilet , plenty of parking right out front with disabled parking near the entry . Now for the staff , the most friendly welcoming girls I have ever met. With cheese tasting , gelato and a great cafe a must stop over in the Pokolbin district.

Absolutely wonderful experience with budget friendly vegetarian cheese options. The hostess was really friendly and helpful as well. Would recommend 😁

The lady serving was super lovely and gave our son his own little cheese plate and some stickers to keep him occupied. $5 for a tasting is super reasonable and the cheeses were lovely. Highly recommend dropping by!

It's hard to not walk out with arms full of different types of cheeses. They were all very delicious!

This is a delicious place to visit, and I don't really like cheese. I walked away having purchased three cheeses. There are some unusual options. One we loved had garlic and thyme and seriously tasted like bolognese sauce.

The staff are lovely and friendly and know their cheeses, especially as it is a family business. Cheese tasting at the time of our visit was only $5 and we got to try about 6 cheeses.

If you like what you taste, then there are bargain packages or you can buy it by the block.

There is also delicious gelato there. There is a cafe which is attached, and not surprisingly the menu is based around cheese. There was even a takeaway picnic option. However, if cheese is not your thing there isn't really much on the menu for you and you probably will need to go back down the road 5 minutes to Hunter Valley Gardens or one of the other cafes around.

Shelby is such a lovely host! Warm and bubbly, she really made our visit wonderful. The cheese and beer were both thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely tell our friends and family about it!

Came in for a look-see and left with 4-5 cheeses.. and I’m not even a cheese fan! Relaxed, lovely vibe from the moment we entered the Cheese Room, and I think Denise and her team definitely played her cards well. plying us with her “regular” tasting selection before finishing up with some Black Magic (a creamy Brie with a black garlic center, so yum). We also got to try a few other blue cheeses, and i would recommend the cheddar with blue powder and the blue moon. It was just the right amount of dairy, trivia and cheery banter!

Thanks for the cheeses, Denise, and I hope everyone experiences your warm, sunny disposition. Definitely drop by if you’re in Pokolbin/Cessnock :)

Great cheese, great staff and a very welcoming experience. A big thanks to TP & Shelby who went out of their way to give remarkable service and ensure we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Hunterbelle Cheese Room. We had the ‘high cheese’ which was a beautifully presented and generously portioned platter of deliciousness. I highly recommend the Ash Briebelle cheese and the smoked salmon baguettes. Thanks team - we will be back.

Do you like cheese? Then come. Delicious!! Favourites were the caramelised onion and chilli cheddars and of course, the Brie were my wife and I’s 3 favourite. The server was extremely kind, helpful and even allowed us to try an extra two as we were struggling which to choose for our picnic. Worth it!

Went for a cheese tasting that was delicious and had Shelby she was so helpful and welcoming honestly made the experience.

Had fun tasting cheese. Just for 5$ we got following cheese varieties with crackers
1. Briebelle
2. Ash Briebelle
3. Cranberry & Pistachio
4. Caramelised onion & thyme
5. Ol’smoky

Although went into it for Pistachio, ended up loving Caramelised Onion & thyme.
We bought Onion & thyme cheese and Mango mayo. Would recommend visiting this place if you plan to go cheese tasting.
