Tempus Two Winery
“Good wine is a necessity of life for me.”
- Thomas Jefferson
Tempus Two Winery represents a bright new chapter in one of Australia’s most exciting wine stories. Tempus Two is the culmination of Lisa McGuigan’s dream to create a successful, ultra - premium wine brand & tourism experience. Lisa’s passion for wine was inevitable as she represents the fourth generation of one of the Hunter Valley’s most famous winemaking families. Before turning to the industry ingrained in her soul, she spent a decade pursuing a career in hospitality & five star hotel management. It was during this time that she conceived Tempus Two - right down to the tiniest detail.
Sharing the vision is the Roche family, creators of the multi-award winning Hunter Valley Gardens & now developing some of the Hunters finest wines. Their passion for the area is seen in the commitment to building first class facilities so it was inevitable that the two families would unite in wine & wine tourism.
The award winning structure comprises of a state of the art boutique winery, cellar door, Oishii - Japanese and Thai Restaurant, and our 10,000 seat amphitheatre. Our winery features a range of cultural events throughout the year including themed dance nights, community art shows, drama and theatre productions. The winery also hosts a variety of functions from private weddings and celebrations, to corporate dinners, conferences and product releases.
Our winery hosts some of the most spectacular and largest outdoor concerts staged in Hunter Wine Country in our 10,000 seat architect designed amphitheatre. These events feature a number of the world’s best known performers and are much more than just a concert. Coupled with the performance by the headline act we offer the audience a range of dining options from five star degustation dinners prepared by a number of the Hunter’s leading chefs working in partnership to outdoor food stalls by not only the two on site restaurants plus a number of restaurants from around the Hunter Valley offering a huge variety of foods from sushi to steak sandwiches and much more in between ensuring patrons can experience as much as the Hunter has to offer. The day also includes performances by various support acts around the venue, extensive external bars offering a range of wines, beer, soft drinks, espresso, cheeses, cakes and more.
Tempus Two Winery combines great wine, food and tourism experiences in a modern and comfortable facility which is the realisation of two family’s united vision to create a unique destination in Australia’s premier wine region and support Hunter Valley tourism.
