Situated in the midst of the famous Wyndham Estate Winery, Dalwood House is significant because it reflects the history of one of the most important pioneering families in the Hunter Valley. Designed by the pioneer vigneron George Wyndham in 1829, Dalwood House is a rare surviving example of one of the earliest Greek revival buildings in New South Wales and the earliest known example of the style in the Hunter Valley.
Designed by the pioneer vigneron George Wyndham in 1829, Dalwood, with its striking Greek porch, Dalwood House is beautifully sited in the midst of the Wyndham Estate's Hunter Valley Winery.
In the 20th century this most sensitive and romantic of houses fell into disrepair and by the 1970s was a ruin. Stabilised and conserved by the Trust and the descendants of George Wyndham, the house stands as a monument to the creative fortitude of its first owner.
