About The Cups Estate

Perched over Fingal valley, this boutique winery delivers a disciplined multi-course tasting menu paired with estate-grown vintages and house-pressed olive oil. Seating roughly thirty indoors beside rolling vines, the dining room trades banquet chaos for intimate pacing. Regulars point to the duck agnolotti and crisp Chardonnay poured against views of the olive groves.

  • Chef's Tasting Menu: A cohesive set sequence paired with estate wines and house olive oil, spotlighting plates like duck agnolotti.
  • Intimate Dining Footprint: Seating roughly 30 guests indoors alongside an outdoor terrace overlooking rolling vineyard hills and olive groves.
  • Peninsula Getaway Base: Positioned minutes from Fingal hot springs and spas, ideal for unhurried day-trip lunches.
