Cupitt’s  has won the 2 categories at the 2016 NSW Savour Australia Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence.

We are proud to be announced as the winner of both “People, Produce, Place Tourism Restaurant” and “Restaurant in a Winery”

Well Done to the entire team at Cupitt’s for this outstanding achievement0

More than 900 local restaurants, cafes and catering businesses gathered to celebrate the achievements of their peers who were judged across 75 categories, with the winners announced at the Awards for Excellence ceremony held at Luna Park, Sydney.

The Awards for Excellence is a nationally recognised, independently judged awards program that celebrates exceptional service and culinary talent across the state. The Awards for Excellence is the only program in Australia where the judging criteria is determined by consumers who rank what is important to them in the dining experience.

The Awards are judged by an independent team of trained judges who anonymously visit the venues to determine the winners. The scores are based on the entire dining experience from food to the customer service experienced when the judges anonymously dine.

R&CA CEO John Hart says, “Cupitt’s should be proud of their achievements. Running a hospitality business isn’t easy – there’s a lot of blood sweat and tears that goes into to making it work. But when you get the right mix of staff, produce and service, the results can be extraordinary.”

Cupitt’s may compete with other region finalists at the National Savour Australia Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence to be held at Four Points Sheraton, Darling Harbour in Sydney on Monday 24^th October 2016. Finalists will be advised of their status by 26 September.

Mothers Day is a wonderful time to show your Mum how much you love her. If you and your mother love wine, food, cheese, beer or just a great day out then our Special Mother’s Day voucher can be one of the best gifts that you can give to her. It is a great way to bond with your mother over shared interests or give to Mum to go with friends.

The journey will begin in our beautiful vineyard where we will explain about the varieties grown on the property, the grape growing process and how and when we harvest. Our next stop is in our barrel room hidden under the hillside where we will talk about the fermentation process and the various decisions made by a winemaker when crafting each wine. We will then visit our micro brewery and explain all about the beer making process. Next we will take her to the Fromagerie where she will discover the many types of cheese and how they are developed. The tour will conclude with a tasting of our current wine releases in our Cellar Door overlooking the property’s stunning vista.   And Finally we will spoil your mum with a glass of Prosecco on arrival to Cupitt’s Kitchen followed by a delicious 3 course a la carte lunch in our award winning restaurant.  Each course will be paired with a glass of matching wine.
