Cupitt’s Winery is going through the planning process for a new dairy and cheese making facility at Cupitt’s Winery. Our aspirations are to be the South Coast’s first Sheep Dairy and Cheese Factory producing premium artisan cheeses and yogurt. Not only will the cheese complement the wines made on the estate but will also be used in our restaurant and hopefully stocked at other outlets on the South Coast. We are very excited to bring this new attraction to the South Coast.

We have sought the very best advice for cheese making pioneer, Richard Thomas. Richard Thomas has a very impressive CV with over 30 years involvement in the artisan cheese making and has contributed to some of Australia’s best-known cheeses and cheese-making operations, including making specialty cheeses at King Island, Meredith, Milawa, Tarago and the Yarra Valley. Richard was also the founder of the famed Gippsland Blue, received the Maggie Beer Award for Outstanding Contribution to Australian Food, and entered into the Melbourne Food and Wine Hall of Fame.

Richard’s knowledge and advice on how to set up our facility, how to make cheese and how to operate a cheese maturation facility (an affineur) is invaluable in our planning of this exciting project.

We have received a grant from the NSW Government’s Regional Tourism Product Development Funding Program which aims to create, grow and enhance tourism products available across regional NSW which will help to attract more visitors. Stay tuned to hear about how we are going as we progress with the planning application.

Cupitt’s Winery has taken its first step towards a big Dream, a MICROBREWERY. The establishment of a microbrewery on the South Coast delivering great tasting craft beers is our dream. Today we lodged a Tourism Quality Projects Application for a grant from the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism to help us realise this dream. With any luck we will be sipping through a selection of Cupitt Craft Ales by 2014. Stay Tuned!

Cupitt’s Winery will be hosting an exhibition of original paintings, of the Milton region in their charming cellar door gallery, commencing March 8 2012.

The artist, Kate Irish, is from Sydney. When visiting the south coast a few years ago, she was captivated by the beauty of the area, from it’s stunning beaches to it’s gently undulating pastureland. A couple of years ago she bought a retreat on a hilltop in Milton, complete with art studio, where she began painting the scenes which are featured in her exhibition.

Works include scenes from Narrawallee Beach, Cupitt’s winery, the escarpment and scenes from some of the local country lanes.

Works are in acrylic & oil on stretched canvas. Kate has exhibited in her own solo shows, Art Sydney, Art Melbourne and a variety of other exhibitions. The works will be on display from the 8th March until 3rd June and the artist will be in situ on Sunday 11th March at Cupitt’s Cellar Door.
