Benguela Cove is going all pink for the month of August, in celebration of National Women’s Day

This month we are celebrating all the incredible women around us, all their achievements and success in a challenging world. We help raise awareness of business women in our communities and their growth.  One of the leading examples is owner of our picturesque estate, Penny Streeter. Her passion, determination and great spirit has led to the success of our beautiful estate and she is one of the many reasons to celebrate this month.   

The Story of Benguela Cove, Told by Female Owner, Penny Streeter OBE

A few years back on a trip out Penny stumbled upon Benguela Cove, few years later she and her husband came upon the opportunity to take over this development. Soon after they took on the challenge to manage the vineyards on the property and with very little experience in the wine industry, Penny and her husband met with winemakers in the area, who at that time advised her to rather sell the grapes than attempt to produce wine. Of course, Penny decided to pursue her ambitions instead. Diving into it with both feet and optimism Penny followed through with her vision and in 2017 opened the beautiful tasting room.   

“Benguela Cove is truly a special place - the birthplace of some extraordinary wines now gracing many lunch and dinner tables. The dream was to create a world-class and sophisticated wine tourism destination. That dream is happening now.” - Penny Streeter OBE  

We are grateful for the amazing women in business and all women in our community that strive to achieve greatness. From one woman to another: "Take life one day at a time because every day is a different day with new challenges." - Penny Streeter OBE  

We invite you to come enjoy the picturesque views, award-winning wines and unforgettable experiences while celebrating all the amazing women and their history. Women are the driving force, passion and greatness behind many of our success stories. Let’s raise a glass to all the inspiring women out there!
