The Porter House Hotel Sydney MGallery has created the ultimate city stay for lovers of wine, cheese and luxury, with its Chardon-yay Stay package, which includes a curated Chardonnay Wine Flight and cheese pairing, plus an overnight stay. Boasting the city’s most stylish urban cellar door, the Porter House is one of Sydney’s best-kept secrets. In collaboration with Handpicked Wines, the five-star boutique hotel offers guests the opportunity to explore the subtle differences in styles of the Chardonnay grape from their Tasmanian, Mornington Peninsula, and Yarra Valley vineyards, alongside selected cheeses from their growing range of fresh produce.
The hotel offers the full range of Handpicked Wines, which are amongst the most awarded wines in Australia and represent a relentless search for exceptional quality. The same dedication to quality artisanship can be seen throughout the hotel, which is one of the oldest buildings in Sydney. Constructed of sandstone bricks, its exquisite façade has been restored, while the thoughtfully modernised interiors feature century-old artefacts displayed in its corridors on every level.
“We are very lucky at The Porter House Hotel to be able to offer our guests exceptional wine experiences alongside a passion for showcasing Australia’s finest produce,” said Mitchell Turner, the hotel’s General Manager. “MGallery Hotels are all about storytelling and this is our way to share the story of Australia’s wine culture through an immersive tasting of some of the best wines in the country.”
Chardonnay has seen a remarkable surge in popularity in recent years, solidifying its place as one of Australia’s most beloved white wines. Renowned for its versatility and rich, complex flavours, Chardonnay appeals to both casual wine drinkers and connoisseurs alike. Handpicked Wines has been at the forefront of this movement, offering wines that reflect the best of Australia’s terroir, with award-winning selections that captivate with their balance, precision, and depth.
By offering these curated wine stays, The Porter House provides a memorable and meaningful opportunity for guests to enjoy world-class wines and indulge in local food culture, enriching the travel experience well beyond the ordinary.
The Chardon-Yay package is available from $359 per night for one or $419 for two guests.
