In 2026, Saltire Estate will welcome a truly unique addition to our Hunter Valley grounds - Highland cows. With their long shaggy coats, sweeping horns, and unmistakable charm, these gentle giants are more than just a beautiful sight. They embody the heart of Saltire’s story: a deep connection to Scotland and a celebration of heritage, tradition, and character.
A Nod to Scottish Heritage
Saltire Estate has always honoured its Scottish roots, from the name “Saltire” itself - a reference to Scotland’s iconic St. Andrew’s Cross – to the stories we share through our wines. The introduction of Highland cows continues this legacy, providing guests with a living symbol of Scotland’s rugged beauty and resilience.
Enhancing the Winery Experience
When you visit Saltire Estate, you’ll already find more than exceptional wines. Our grounds are designed to offer a complete Hunter Valley experience - one that blends relaxation, history, and a touch of surprise. The Highland cows will add a fresh dimension, making a visit to Saltire not only about tasting premium wines but also about soaking in the atmosphere of a place where culture and countryside come together.
Looking Ahead to 2026
The arrival of Highland cows marks another chapter in Saltire Estate’s journey - one that blends wine, story, and setting in ways that are uniquely our own. As 2026 approaches, we look forward to sharing this new experience with our visitors, offering yet another reason to make Saltire Estate a must-visit destination in the Hunter Valley.
