Hunter's Dream Winery

A harmonious sanctuary where nature flourishes in every vine, olive grove, and garden, creating a lush haven for the senses.

A captivating wine
region, abundant with rolling vineyards, flourishing olive orchards, and picturesque landscapes—all woven into a haven of sensory delights.

Planted four decades ago, our venerable vines make Hunter’s Dream one of the region's oldest boutique wineries.

Guided by Kees van de Scheur and our seasoned team, the tradition of these vines yielding award-winning wines endures.

Following meticulous winter pruning, the first buds of our vines burst forth in late August. As the new year unfolds, the grape harvest commences, setting the stage for indulgent new barrel tastings in late March. This carefully orchestrated process ensures the continuation of our legacy, crafting wines that stand the test of time.

The Journey

Dedicated to safeguarding the historical essence of the estate's 60 acres of mature vines, we aim not only to preserve but to honour its storied legacy.

Working with one of the Hunter's most knowledgeable estate managers, everything we do and bring to the estate is meticulously designed to harmonise with the natural order of things.

Blessed with a unique climate and some of the region’s best soils, the Estate’s fertile grounds are being cultivated as a source of natural raw ingredients far and beyond our fine wines. And with every passing day, our garden evolves to further add a remarkable sense of tranquillity and peacefulness that already resides here.

Beyond the Vineyards

The allure extends beyond the vineyards, offering an enriching experience that includes flourishing orchards, captivating gardens, and the mesmerising artistry of our olive groves.

Our estate flourishes with eight unique olive tree varieties, and each year, we delight in the meticulous harvest of their fruits to craft our pure, fresh, and certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a testament to our commitment to estate-quality products and craftsmanship.
Tea Trees

Tea Trees

Cultivating 1,500 tea trees of two varieties, Leptospermum polygalifolium (Jelly Bush) and Leptospermum scoparium (New Zealand Manuka), our estate hosts blossoms that yield nectar for honey with high ‘active’ antibacterial (MGO) ratings, thanks to the bees' diligent work.
Fruit Orchards
