“Like many of the illustrious wine family names known throughout the Hunter, Pokolbin’s Philip Helé is part of a strong family legacy.
For the past three decades the fourth-generation hotelier has been at the forefront of shaping the Hunter wine and tourism industry and promoting it to an international market.
Now, for his service to tourism and the community of the Hunter Valley, Mr. Helé has been recognised with an Order Of Australia Medal – something he said he is “pretty chuffed about”. “I must admit I was really taken aback and of course honoured and incredibly humbled,” he said.”
