SALTIRE ESTATE

CELLAR DOOR:

Saltire Estate was born in 2006 when the Leslie family acquired land that was originally part of the much larger George Hunter Estate established by the Sydney restauranteur, Oliver Shaul in the 1970s. The Semillon, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Merlot vines are all that remain of the 500 acre estate.

Owned by an Australian/Scottish family, Saltire Estate welcomes ex-pats, Outlander fans and lovers of fine wine each weekend where they specialise in fun, fresh and informative tastings inside an industrial winemaking facility, overlooking stunning vines and olive trees.

Chill out to lo-fi beats while you watch the kangaroos bounce by and enjoy your choice of tasting – we offer wine paired with cheese or spirits!

During your visit, discover our boutique bottle shop stocked with craft beers, canned cocktails and wines plus our range of non alcoholic beverages.

We cater to large groups by appointment and will happily accept walk-in smaller groups when possible.

EVENTS:

Don’t miss out on the Lovedale Long Lunch, happening on the 3rd weekend of May each year when Saltire and six of Lovedale’s best wineries host a weekend full of fine local wine, delicious gourmet food and live entertainment!

Connect with our Scottish roots with the annual Hunter Valley Highland Games, a one-day event dedicated to all things Scottish. Watch highland athletes compete, drum and pipe bands as well as dancers perform all while enjoying a glass of wine.

Or if you're a fan of the beloved retro kombi, the Hunter Valley Kombi Festival is the perfect event. Enjoy live music, delicious wines and explore a diverse display of kombis with like minded enthusiasts in this exciting yearly festival.
