LUXLIFE MAGAZINE | 25 Spring 2023 The cellar is located on Broke Road at the Blaxland’s property in the beautiful valley, and it is a hotspot for wine lovers from all around the globe. Many people flock to VAMP to experience an elevated level of sophistication with a gritty attitude for being distinct, daring, and simply outstanding. By providing a once a lifetime cellar door experience, Lisa helps us to pamper our senses. From sight to sound and delectable taste, VAMP passionately inspires us to explore what we love – and beyond. Lisa tells us, “I created Vamp for visitors to experience something completely different to many of the more traditional cellar doors in the region.” Each and every drop of wine comes from the most ripe and appetizing grapes which help to create wine not to be missed. From full bodied red to light white, Lisa McGuigan’s wine speaks to the most refined palate and stands out just as much as the decorative details within the cellar. For example, with notes of summer fruits and Turkish delight, its lush Black Moscato is a treat for those with a sweet tooth. Its Silver Pinot Grigio is fresh and playful, with notes of citrus blossom and musk, making it a pleasure to drink. The collection that this business sports is a cooperative operation made to run smooth by people with a keen eye for detail – and the tastebuds to match. Every single wine sold is made or finished in the shared winery in Lisa’s home region, Hunter Valley, making them authentic products that speak volumes of the location and its record of expert wine making. “My background in 5-star hotels has taught me the best way to stand out is to ensure you have the right staff, with the right passion and have the highest expectations of all members of your team to deliver excellence in all aspects of the business.” Lisa continues, “I have a very diverse team but they one thing they have in common is passion for hospitality.” Finally opening in 2019, after Lisa had dreamed of it for 10 years, VAMP has swiftly become a hit amongst wine enthusiasts as well as people who simply want to try something out of the norm.
