Mark and Anthea have opened an artisan winery and Cellar door in Salamander Bay in beautiful Port Stephens, NSW. Mark Tynan started Tynan Wines in 2009. He has a Master in Viticulture and Oenology from Charles Sturt University. We focus on producing small batches of premium wine using the best grapes we can find from vineyards in regional NSW and Australia. Not every region can grow the best grapes of all varieties, so we get out on the road and find expert grape growers with a history of producing excellent crops, then bring the grapes back to the Hunter Valley to make fine wine. To date, we have sourced grapes from Canberra, Orange, Hunter Valley, Mudgee, New England, Hilltops (Young) and Tumbarumba.

Shoal Bay Shuttle Service provides private transport within Port Stephens, to and from Newcastle Airport and the Hunter region. Our vehicles are a 4-passenger Toyota Camry, 6-passenger Tarago and a near-new 13-passenger bus. Owner-driver Mike has been involved with public transport operations in this region for over 30 years. Newcastle airport transfers, local private tours and trips to Newcastle and the Hunter Valley Wine Country are our specialities.
