History | Cupitt’s Estate is a family run business founded by Rosie and Griff Cupitt 17 years ago, whose passion for food, wine, and hospitality was ignited during their European travels. Inspired by the rustic charm of European vineyards, they dreamed of bringing that same experience to the South Coast of NSW.

Over time, the next generation of the Cupitt family became deeply involved in shaping the estate’s evolution. Tom Cupitt and wife Libby returned from working in London in 2011 to take on key roles in operations and business development, helping guide the estate’s continued growth. Meanwhile, Wally Cupitt brought his passion for winemaking and beer brewing into the fold, taking the reins over from Rosie as winemaker in 2013.

A special part of the estate’s charm is its 1850s stone creamery, lovingly restored and now serving as the cellar door, where visitors can connect with the property’s rich history while enjoying its signature wines.

Winery |Cupitt’s Estate produces a diverse range of wines, blending European influences with the relaxed coastal lifestyle of the South Coast. Guests can explore the estate’s wine selection through guided tastings, Tour & Taste experiences, or tours of the underground barrel cave. The Meet the Winemaker offers an exclusive, VIP opportunity to step inside the barrel cave and enjoy a behind-the-scenes tasting with the winemaker, delving into the craftsmanship behind each wine in an intimate setting.

Cupitt’s Estate is focused on creating wines that align with the way people live, eat and socialise. It is driven by a passion for making award winning wines that are approachable, enjoyable, and perfectly suited to their unique climate and lifestyle.
