Planning a visit to Cupitt’s Estate over the spring school holidays, Christmas or your spring and summer break? As we head into our busiest time of year, our opening hours and dining options change a little throughout the season.
Whether you’re joining us for pizza and a glass of wine in the Wine Garden, settling in for a long lunch in the Dining Room or visiting over the Christmas and New Year period, here’s what you need to know.
September and October School Holidays
During the spring school holidays, our full Wine Garden pizza menu is available seven days a week.
Wine Garden
It’s a great time to settle into the Wine Garden for a relaxed lunch overlooking the vineyard, particularly if you’re visiting the South Coast with family and friends over the holidays.
Sunday to Thursday
11:30am–3:30pm
Friday and Saturday
Lunch: 11:30am–3:30pm
Dinner: 5pm–7pm
Dining Room
Open as usual, lunch 7 days and dinner Thursday to Saturday.
Wine Tasting

After the School Holidays
Once the September/October school holidays finish, our Wine Garden moves to its regular spring trading hours until the week before Christmas.
Monday to Thursday
11:30am–2:30pm
A limited bar menu is available.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
11:30am–3:30pm
Our full pizza menu is available.
Friday and Saturday evenings

So if pizza is part of your Cupitt’s plans, Friday through Sunday is the time to visit. During the week, you can still stop by the Wine Garden for a drink and something from our smaller bar menu.

Planning Your Visit
There's more to Cupitt's than a Wine Garden lunch. Get to know the wines properly with one of our tasting experiences, settle in at the Cellar Door for a taste, or turn your visit into a proper stay in one of our Estate villas.
Thinking bigger? If you're planning a work Christmas party or getting a larger group together, we love hosting bigger tables, whether that's a long lunch in the Dining Room or a relaxed afternoon in the Wine Garden. Get in touch with our customer service team to talk through what works for your group.
Opening hours and menus can change for special events (eg. weddings) and public holidays, so we recommend checking our website booking pages when planning your visit and booking ahead during school holidays and the summer period.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cupitt’s this spring and summer.
