At McCaffrey’s Estate, wine is personal.
What began as a family dream has become a boutique vineyard where every grape is hand-picked, every bottle tells a story, and every visitor is welcomed as a friend.
We love sharing a seat at our cellar door, inviting children to explore the vineyard, and watching visitors relax into the rhythm of the vines. With cottages nestled among the rows, you can even wake to the view that inspires our wines.
This is not a large commercial winery – it’s our life, our home, and our invitation to experience the Hunter Valley in the way we believe it’s meant to be enjoyed: warmly, authentically, and together.
We can’t wait to meet you!
Danielle and Declan McCaffrey
We can also help you make the most of your Hunter Valley stay – from booking wine tours, bike hire or concert transfers, to sharing our favourite restaurants and local attractions. Whether it’s a family getaway or a special occasion, you’ll find plenty to explore. To find out more about the Hunter Valley visit www.winecountry.com.au
Be sure to book your accommodation with us directly for the best rates, and reserve your wine tasting to secure your preferred time – although walk-ins are always welcome.
We’d love you to stay connected by signing up to our newsletter, or consider joining our Convivial Club for member pricing, exclusive events, and regular wine deliveries.
After many years adventuring through Europe’s wine regions, Declan and Danielle (along with their two girls, two dogs, ten chickens, and three sheep!) found their home among the vines of the Hunter Valley.
At McCaffrey’s Estate, they’ve created a place where family life, winemaking, and warm hospitality come together. Visitors are invited to share their story, sample boutique wines, and experience the relaxed charm of the Hunter Valley.
