Welcome to Saltire Estate, a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Hunter Valley. Our wines are born out of a passion for this beautiful region and its connection to ancient Scotland.
The Hunter Valley is renowned for its world-class wines, and we're proud to be a part of this rich winemaking tradition. Our vineyard was originally part of the George Hunter Estate, established in the 1970s. Today, our Semillon, Shiraz, and Merlot vines are all that remain of this once sprawling 500-acre estate.
We're proud to honour the legacy of James Busby, the proud Scot known as the father of Australian wine. Busby brought 500 cuttings from Europe to Australia and planted them in the Hunter region of Belford, not far from Lovedale.
At Saltire Estate, we're committed to providing great quality wine at an affordable price. We believe that great wine doesn't need to be expensive, and we work hard to provide exceptional value to our customers.
Discover the Saltire Estate Signature Wine Tasting experience and indulge in a selection of premium wines in our stylish cellar door. Enjoy the breathtaking views of our Semillon vines while savouring our wines, whether you choose to sit inside or outside (subject to availability).
Our knowledgeable and friendly staff are here to guide you through the wine tasting process and share their passion for winemaking with you. We welcome groups of all sizes, as well as children and dogs on a leash.
Take home the perfect addition to any dinner party or special occasion with our signature wines. Our wines embody the essence of our winery and are sure to impress your guests.
