This winter, escape the chill and embrace indulgence with The Red Affair, an exclusive seasonal experience at The Porter House Hotel Sydney MGallery. Designed for lovers of bold wines, cosy elegance, and curated hospitality, The Red Affair invites guests to slow down and savour the season in style.
Your afternoon or evening will begin at the hotel's Handpicked Cellar Door, with a tasting of Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and a perfectly aged Colheita Port, paired with cheeses from France, Italy, New Zealand and Victoria, after which you can slip upstairs to your elegantly appointed room, where the mood is mellow and the night is yours. Available for stays until 31 August 2025, the package is priced from $390 per couple.
As the temperature drops, our cravings shift. The crisp whites of summer are set aside in favour of full-bodied reds, and healthy salads make way for rich, savoury cheeses. Naturally higher in alcohol and tannins, red wines create a sensation of warmth that's especially comforting in colder months.
“The Red Affair creates moments of slow enjoyment, conversation, and connection,” says Mitchell Turner, the hotel's General Manager. “In winter, when we're naturally drawn inward, both the red wines on offer and our historic hotel are aged to perfection to warm you up from the inside out.”
Craftsmanship is evident in both the carefully selected Handpicked Wines, which are among the most awarded in Australia, as well as in the hotel, which has won multiple awards for its heritage design and careful conservation.
Set within a former tobacco factory in one of Sydney's most carefully preserved 1870s buildings, the hotel has a rich and layered history. With original timbers, exposed brick, and restored murals, it provides a delicate interplay between history and modernity thanks to thoughtful displays of discovered artefacts, and rooms and suites that prioritise comfort and connectivity to the exterior architecture.
If you can tear yourself away from the hotel, its central location is just a short stroll from Hyde Park, Pitt Street Mall, Chinatown, and the new Gadigal underground Metro, meaning you have a wealth of attractions and activities on your doorstep.
