McCaffrey's Estate

Welcome to McCaffrey’s Estate

Boutique Hunter Valley Winery & Accommodation

Our family, our vineyard, your Hunter Valley escape

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!

Meet the owners

After many years adventuring through Europe’s wine regions, Declan and Danielle (along with their two girls, two dogs, XX 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.
