Calais' Cellar Door features one of the largest boutique wine lists in the Valley - boasting everything from classic wine varieties, to unusual wine styles and unique hands-on wine experiences. The Estate also plays host to many weddings and functions throughout the year.

HISTORY The Winery was first established in 1975, and the Cellar Door, with its convict hewn sandstone blocks and timber supports, a few years later. There are twenty acres of working vineyard, which are planted in Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Semillon. Selected parcels of premium quality fruit are also sourced from other first-class vineyards.

The Bradley family purchased Calais Estate in July 2000, and continue to add to the Estate's character and charm. The grounds have been landscaped, hundreds of trees, plants and flowers planted, and the Winery, Cellar Door and old Winemaker's Cottage have been renovated.

2020 saw the addition of Restaurant Kawul to the Estate, serving delicious native inspired cuisine by Chef Jayden and his team. Kawul focus on looking back to the organic produce used by our ancestors to deliver modern and creative dishes while paying respect to the Hunter Valley’s first people.
