Reviews of Craggy Range
J. W.
Came for dinner here with my parents. We had the set menu with wine match. Was just beautiful. Very very tasty food with plenty of it, friendly helpful knowledgeable staff beautiful local produce. The views are beautiful up to Te Mata peak. I loved it will certainly visit again.
H. J.
My wife and I visited this place on our 20th anniversary day last month. We chose Craggy range shared menu for lunch and surprised because of the service and quality. When we asked about the single menu to staff, he explained well about it and was very nice. We didn't think we could have this kind of well coordinated course menu. All ingredients of cuisines were very harmonious and very natural. We enjoyed the meal and were very happy all day thanks to satisfaction for the meal. After lunch, we moved to winery to have wine tasting. Frankly, we didn't know much about wine. But staff was very kind and he explained us about wines. It was great time as well. Specially thanks to Jack H at restaurant and Oscar at winery who served us with kind and smile. The staffs and Craggy range gave us unforgettable day.

I’m 11 and it was my birthday. it was the first time I ever went to a restaurant because I have severe allergies. It was amazing the food was excellent it was so delicious and they even made me a special menu due to my allergies. At the end they gave me birthday truffles with a candle. Thanks so much!
A.
Beautiful winery, lovely staff, nice wine. The one big minus point was them not selling wine by the glass at the cellar door. so we had a $95 beautiful platter and no wine to enjoy with it, except if you were keen to pay twice for a bottle. Why?
B.
Dinner last night, shared menu = Epic. It would be even better if there was al fresco dining at dinner time, but we wandered around the property in between courses which was lovely. Will definitely recommend to others, and we will be back!
S.
Lovely wines, everyone is knowledgeable and approachable. Did a tasting with Zoe, she was great! Enthusiastic, genuine and answered all of our questions. Thanks team!
A.
Hawkes Bay at its Finest. We had a great wine tasting. Oscar guided us through the tasting with smile and was very well versed with the wines and the region.
J. D.
An excellent experience at the wine tasting. We were self confessed wine novices but our wine guide, Michael, took a great deal of trouble explaining the way the wines differed in both taste and making. I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone. We'll be back but to dine and stay over next time.
J. O.
Had an amazing time wine tasting at Craggy Range. Beautiful place, food and wine. Special shout out to Mike with the most outstanding service. Thank you. 100% will be back
G. W.
Very friendly, professional staff, immaculate surrounding & beautiful wines that us Kiwis can be proud of.
Certainly punching above there weight on the international stage!!!
Will return next time we are in town.
T.
We had an incredible meal here. All dishes were perfect, and our waiter was great too. Lovely decor also.

Wonderful experience, hosted very well by Peter. Thanks for all that info, we have some wine shipping to do!
E.
Top class wine, food, and stunning views! Great for a special occasion

Great place with fantastic wine and amazing views and beautiful food
J.
Unbelievably special. Faultless service and menu. Thank you so much for a wonderful night I will remember for ever.
A.
Wonderful food and service , the outdoor area was super relaxing
R.
A must visit when coming to Napier. An iconic setting with impeccable wines
K.
We had an absolutely divine lunch and experience here! The grounds are simply beautiful, and the restaurant is equally as gorgeous. All of the food was impeccable in presentation and flavour. Loved it all!
M.
Was very excited to check out some of the Hawkes Bay Wineries and Craggy Range was top of my list, and it did not disappoint. MATTHEW WAS AMAZING. 10/10. He was so knowledgeable about all of the wines, gave me a tour around parts of the winery that’s on site. Beautiful property and incredible wines. Thank you for the wonderful experience
H. v. H.
Incredible sit down wine tasting experience. Our host Peter, immediately made us feel at home and welcome and excelled with a wealth of knowledge and shared stories of the winery and region that contributed to overall experience. Thank you very much. We highly recommend a visit to this unique location and hope you get to experience the same wonderful service that made our day.
A.
Great Wine and great food. Definitely recommend.
C. P.
Our best dinner so far in New Zealand! We had a reservation around sunset time and the host asked if we would want to enjoy a cocktail on the patio to watch the sunset before going to our table (our table was ready either way), and this was such a relaxing experience. We then moved to our table after the sunset, and enjoyed oysters, venison tartar, duck breast, rack of lamb, and caramel tart for dessert. What a fabulous meal, service was the best we’ve seen, servers were proficient in the wines and food they were serving. The wines we tried were all excellent! Highly recommend!!
C. Z.
Most beautiful winery I’ve ever visited. Recently renovated restaurant was gorgeous and food was delicious. The entire meal delicious, well balanced and presented nicely. They were flavours that you’d expect with each dish but elevated. The staff was incredibly helpful and made sure that everyone had what they wanted to drink and that no empty glasses were ignored.
R. W.
One of the best meals I have ever had! Food was just spectacular, the flavour, combinations, portion size was great for a fancy restaurant too very impressed everything was such a high standard!! Service was excellent and the recommended wine matches suburb, 100% recommend and looking forward to coming back already!! Thank you!!
M.
This is is a superb winery faultless products in red and white. This year's rose nearly gone go to the winery and experience a great environment for tasting. Great staff. Sit and savour the wines while looking at the dramatic outline of Te Mata hills. Not to be missed
N.
Beautiful food and service, great portion sizes.
R. P.
Beautiful looking winery from the gate to the courtyard. Has a great view of Craggy Ridge and the beautifully designed grounds and ponds, love the large animal sculptures. We were there for lunch and we had the shared meal which was delicious from the appetizers to the desserts. The staff were polite, friendly and professional with full knowledge of the menu and wine. Thank you Jacob. Craggy Ridge was the perfect place for a relaxing lunch after an awesome night with Sir Alton John.
A. H.
My partner and I went to the restaurant last night and had the chefs menu. So delicious! All the food was exceptional, and we had the best butter, potatoes and halloumi of our lives.
Our server Kate made the evening so wonderful - super friendly, informative, and so helpful - we asked for tips about what to do in Hawkes Bay and she wrote us a list to take with us. Above and beyond service - thank you!
M.
Very friendly staff. Great wines and food
L.
I've been just at the cellar door. Absolutely the best place to taste the best wine in the best location, I've tried a lot from new zealand wines and craggy range is simply in the top three. They will give you the best cellar door experience, the atmosphere it's made for relax and enjoy the wines. I couldn't expect anything better than that.
E. C.
The food was stunning and our waiter was amazing. The wine and setting is beautiful. We had the best time. I couldn’t recommend craggy range more!
J.
What a place love the wine and food - the view is beautiful and so peaceful ♥️♥️♥️
m.
Great, our tasting went really well. Knowledgeable people,nice place to enjoy wine. Looking forward to heading back someday 😊 thanks
D. F.
A beautiful place to go. Love the sharing menu, great for a crowd and so much food for a decent price. Amazing wine, amazing food & an amazing setting. Has to be one of the best restaurants in Hawke’s Bay.
N. M.
Craggy’s is a must visit within the region, a modern but well established winery located on beautiful grounds.
We first enjoyed a well selected set menu for lunch, with top quality locally sourced ingredients. In addition to the food the service was top notch.
After lunch we spent some time walking around the grounds, looking at the sculptures, the gardens and the vineyard.
Overall great value and experience, very highly recommended.
T. W.
Top notch experience for both wine and food lovers. The view is absolutely stunning - tucked between the stunning Te Mata Peak and the Tukutuki river, a walk through the estate itself is breath taking enough. Then you get to the food and the wine and it just keeps getting better.
The kitchen here puts out some pretty amazing food, the highlight for me has to be their freshly baked Focaccia bread - I could just eat that and sit down with a bottle of Sophia and I would die happy.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the Hawke’s Bay Region.
A.
We decided to shell out and pay for the exclusive tasting. After all this was replacing our overseas holiday due to Covid. Our Host was brilliant. He has a great knowledge of the NZ wine industry and growing areas. His explanations of their wines was informative. The premises and grounds alone are worth a visit.
H. D.
One of the most beautiful wineries I've ever been to. We did the complete tasting experience and our host, Matthew, was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Their wines Sophia and Aroha were amazing. Le Sol was not available that day for tasting but we were able to enjoy it at the restaurant. The food was also very delicious and cooked to perfection.
Q.
Ella is lovely. We really enjoyed everything there!
G. K.
Went with a large group of adults and children near mid Jan 2020 for wine tasting. Staff was very accommodating and we were able to enjoy the cheese platters and chips while doing wine tasting. Highly impressed with the professionalism and hospitality of the lady ( blonde hair, sorry didn't catch her name ) staff who served us.
V.
This wine tasting experience is like none I've ever had. I was greeted like a dinner guest, sat at a table with lovely views of the foothills and vineyards and received a relaxed, personal tasting. So many good wines with a great background on each one. There are so many vineyard options but recommend Craggy Range as a priority.
l. z.
The view was fantastic, and so is the food. The hpulloumi cheese and chicken terrine was mind blowing. Dessert was super lovely with a sponge pudding. The staff was really friendly and helpful, and was so kind to point us a walking course in the vineyard which has a beautiful view. Highly recommend!
B.
I went to visit Craggy as people recommended it to us. Beautiful location, wonderful outlook and the wines were great. Unfortunately we didn’t do the tasting as they wanted to rip us $10 a head. Instead of buying the wine there we went to the restaurant who were only to please to let us taste the wine before deciding which one we liked. I recommend the food and would totally go back there.
To be fair, nearly all NZ wineries charge for tasting which is odd. Never had that anywhere else. You do get your money back if you buy some wine but the principle to me is the issue. If you don’t back you wine and wine maker than that says something.
To many good wines in the world for that kind of nonsense.
B. C.
Great ambiance, pleasant helpful staff. Food choices excellent, varied menu, good selection of drinks and wine. Lovely indoors or outdoors setting. Cosy fire for winter, outdoor shades for warmer days. Overlooks artificial lake with ducks and trees, also striking hill range tops . Well worth a visit.
P. M.
Really beautiful building and location. We had their basic tasting, which was very good. Wines were excellent, and the host knowledgable and friendly without being too intruding. However, I felt that 4 wines were not enough given the price of the tasting. It would also have been nice to have had the opportunities to taste their top wines for an additional price (say, an extra $10 to try the Sophia). I came to this winery specifically to try this wine and was very disappointed not to get the chance.
D. C.
Such a beautiful place!! Would be lovely in summer (here in autumn) so the sun went down before 6pm! Food was amazing, small portions but great flavours! Definitely on the high priced sides, but we knew that when we booked! Would love to come back for lunch and have a proper walk around the property!
B. G.
Fantastic location, if they say the restaurant is full you can also eat outside without booking which in summer is better than siting inside. Great wine and the views are amazing
m.
Visited the new diner. The food was really average. The fried chicken was over cooked, the batter was burnt in places. The burgers were bland. This quality of food is lower than what you’d get at the average cafe around Hawke’s Bay. What saves this diner is the atmosphere and the friendly waiting staff.
S.
Stunning food, friendly staff, stunning views. Helpful at picking options. I went here with my wife for a lovely evening out. The food was to die for. As was the wine. I will defiantly go back and recommend to others. Awesome for a date night.
N. D.
This place IS elegance. It is lovely. The staff is professional and attentive. The wine is delicious. It's a short drive from Napier and is well worth it. I Absolutely recommend this winery and I would go back in a heartbeat.
R.
Don't skip this Winery! Amazing wine and delightful customer service. We stopped here for a quick wine tasting ($10 each, 6 wines tasted). Anthia led us patiently through a wonderful tasting and even showed us a walking map so we could tour the vineyard. Our server, Anthia, made our experience perfect. We felt welcome and classy during our tadting. Make sure you visit here!
C.
Beautiful winery and setting .View of Te Mata peak and well kept grounds.Staff member was friendly but she was also busy serving outdoors .$10 per person to taste but you don’t get options whereas in South Island it’s free and you can taste what you want.I am not prepared to purchase unless I can taste. South Island I walked away with bottles wine , Craggy Range I did not purchase.
S.
Love the setting of this place, overlooking the Craggy range. You can make a day out of the wine tour and then settle in for a cozy meal at the restaurant. Decent food. Loved the butter the chef made.
B. D.
Craggy Range Vineyard is located in the absolutely stunning shadow of Te Mata peak. The cellar door and restaurant are in a stunning building set back off the road through a perfectly manicured lawn. Truly a picture perfect winery.
The cellar door offers a tasting of 4 wines of your choosing for $10, but the fee is waived if you purchase a bottle of wine. Our tasting guide was a very friendly French lady from Bordeaux who's passion truly is wine and wine tasting. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the Craggy Range varietals and all aspects of wine and it was evident she has wine running through her veins. Her tour through the Craggy Range wines made the experience. Not to mention some fantastic wines.
We also enjoyed a lovely self-guided stroll through the Craggy Range vineyards, the kitchen garden, and along the front lawn to an up close view of some very realistic cow and chicken artwork. Being able to explore the vineyard was a rare treat that not many wineries allow.
Craggy Range Vineyards is slightly off the beaten track but I highly recommend making the trip down there for some spectacular views and wines.
I.
Delicious tasting menu, as a vego was very well catered for with various dishes, loved the sour mushroom starter. Would recommend for a nice dinner that's not fine dining prices.
D. M.
What a place! The food was amazing and the staff did a perfect job getting us the best seats, even though they were fully booked.
If you enjoy food and wine you should ask for the table next to the kitchen, then you will be able to watch all the cooking and of lucky get som extra to nibble on.
The winetasting was very personal even when it was crowded and we really felt appreciated.
Not to fortet abt the fantastic wines.
If you are going for a winetasting you should end with a lunch or dinner here when in the area.
D.
Wonderful experience... Looking forward to coming back 😀
G. S.
The place itself is well maintained, expansive, and offers really great views. Food is nice (shiitake mushrooms were a bit disappointing), wines are expectedly tasty, and service is professional. Liked the fact that you can actually go in the vineyard, makes for a great experience. Overall a lovely place and worth visiting.
T. A.
Amazing setting, incredible wine. Staff, a major letdown. It's obvious it's a beautiful upmarket to exclusive setting and establishment. Staff however could be down to earth, accomodating and friendly, that would go a long way....
Good wine, and again, an absolutely beautiful setting.
E. S.
One of the best meals we had in New Zealand. The patio is a stunning place to have dinner and wine. The accommodations are very clean, comfortable, and modern. The daily loaf of freshly baked bread with preserves is a lovely touch as well.
B.
Amazing service. Ella was really knowledgeable and helpful.
C.
Amazing winery with a beautiful setting. Informative tastings $10 each but waived when you buy a bottle which we did. Definitely recommend!
A.
Excellent dinner. Knowledgeable staff to get the wines as per our requests.
J. C.
Beautiful vineyard . We came here by chance as it was close to where we were staying. $10pp wine tasting was fantastic and the staff were very friendly without being too much. The whole place feels like you would picture a vineyard to be.
T.
The best tasting experience of my life to date. Cannot express the detail put into a simple $10 tasting, learned so much about NZ wines and every bottle craggy makes is fantastic.
G.
Had wine tasting and platter. Beautiful buildings, landscaping and internal design. Very friendly staff. Personal one to one tasting at our table with our own wine person with great discussions and info on the wines.
M.
Absolutely beautiful setting. On a fine day the range looks fantastic. Tasting are a bit steep, but free if you buy. The staff really know their stuff, and have a good history of the wines and flavours you're getting.
E.
Lovely vineyard - wine tasting takes longer than necessary so allow lots of time. Great setting though especially on a nice day. Good wines in a lovely setting.
A.
Lovely location in a Valley under the Craggy Range of Te Mata Peak. very welcoming and polite staff who were attentive and informative about the wine tasting . Had a cheeseboard platter to go with our wine tasting which was a great combination well worth the experience
B. B.
Food delicious... beautifully presented. Staff very professional.. praps a wee bit more warmth in their service would be nice. Stunning outlook. Lovely outdoor area to sit and have coffee.
R. M.
Excellent tasting. Did the Family Reserve vs the Prestige range. Well worth it. Very well informed staff. I'm hugely impressed with even the entry level Craggy Range. Definitely one of my favorite Hawke's Bay Vinyards.
B.
We didn't stay at the accommodation , or have a meal. We wanted to taste some of the wines that are not so readily available and bring home something that we cannot get at home.
We were the only ones there at the time, and having done a few tastings, we were looked after really well. We were not only given tastings and a discussion on the tastings, but information on the wines, winery and the region. The staff had a real passion and were willing to let us try a large range. We left with a few bottles, including a Syrah to cellar for some time. If you only know Craggy Range for their Sauvignon Blanc, then visit to try some other varieties.
P.
Nice senic setting under Te Mata peak,good service,not cheap
K.
A really wonderful setting and some excellent wines. Our server, Matt, was an expert on all things wine and took good care of us on our visit. We did not dine here, only wine. Would highly recommend the Gimblett Gravels Syrah
J. P.
We did a wine tasting--our sommelier was so knowledgeable and kind, and the wine was incredible. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the view of Te Mata was breathtaking. Would recommend to anyone in the area interested in lovely wine!
D.
Amazing winery, stunning views and grounds. Great wine and definitely worth the value.
B.
First class menu, great presentation and taste. Excellent service, restaurant is a little dated and could do with a bit of modernity but well worth a visit.
S. H.
Fabulous wine and food. Location spectacular. Would be five stars but for the ludicrous split between winery and restaurant. If I go to Craggy Range I expect to have a singular Craggy Range experience which was spoiled by the division between winary and restaurant. Restaurant service and people were excellent.
B.
The wine and ambiance is great. A $10 fee for tasting is very reasonable. Especially when you there is someone knowledgeable about what they are pouring. Why I rated 3 stars is because I don't visit wineries to see political books. Definitely not books about the United Statesa its immigration policies. Written by New Zealand authors who probably have little to absolutely zero knowledge of US immigration policy or problems. Definitely not by an author from a country who has wildly stricter immigration policies and enforcement of those policies. So please, Craggy Range, remove this uninformed garbage from your winery.
A.
Amazing staff, food And wines. Nothing was too hard and the location was something out if a fairytale. If you get chance to pop in I highly recommend this and you wont leave without a smile, and admiration. Well done Craggy Range
L.
Such fabulous food and a beautiful spot. Tasting menu is interesting and good value fir the price. Will definitely go back!
B.
Always an experience. Great service, great location, great wines and great food. Yes it's great.
B. L.
Going to a restaurant with no expectations and being completely blown away is a rarity for myself and my partner. Chef Casey is a culinary genius. His attention to detail was extraordinary and the wait staff were more than accommodating. Chef personally came out and delivered our dessert which might I had was amazing using local produce grown on the premises. this was an experience not to be forgotten and highly recommended to anyone willing to let the Chef take control and serve you his honest creations. paired with local wines handpicked by knowledgeable wait staff. I would more than recomend Craggy Range.
K.
Overall good tasting outside on the patio. Staff will walk you through one wine at a time and allow you to relax and enjoy your wine.
J.
Did an impromptu wine tasting session of 6 wines with Sarah who was a wealth of knowledge on the grapes, the planting & harvesting, the different styles of wine and the history behind Craggy Range. For $10 per person, it was a relaxing way to spend the time there and our session was longer than the stated 20mins. Afterwards we strolled around the beautiful, well-maintained grounds.
s.
Great view ⛰🏔🛖 , nice service . 🧑🏻🍳
Good 🍸🍹🍸🍹
M. D.
Everything is fantastic starting from the setting, the service through to the best fondue I have ever had for the entree and so delicious merino lamb loin with artichoke main. Desert was not needed as we were too full. We will definitely come back!
R. F.
Beautiful setting and great wines. Stopped for a glass of wine and a platter when we biked around the area. Pleasantly surprised on the reasonable prices. Definitely be back for more.
C.
Great experience. Lovely food and wine. Staff were friendly and helpful. They view of Te Mata Peak and the pond was a great way to finish a magical evening.
V.
Was a good learning experience about NZ wines. Staff is knowledgeable, generously sharing information. Lunch at winery restaurant was a lovely addition to tasting
Thank you
K.
We had 3 in our party have luanchor at Terroir. The meal was simply delightful. After lunch we went to the cellar door for some wine tasting. At first, one of the male staff behind the counter was not friendly and did not approach us immediately. When he did, he gave us a lukewarm greeting. Our party then decided to wine taste with this friendly young lady who is originally from Texas. She was the lifesaver for Craggy. Turned out rather negative experience on its head. We forgot her name but we bought a bottle of wine from her as she was so gracious as a cellar door host. She was knowledgeable and patient, especially with my mother in law who was hard of hearing. Food was great, service was subpar from one but amazing from another. Will come back again one day. Only downside is this place isn't dog friendly. Had to leave our girl in the car while we ate lunch.
D. W.
Craggy Range is one of the most delectable winery restaurants in the world. Big claim I know however taking into its location, menu, service and wine list one should not visit Hawkes Bay region without visiting. Gourmet food and delicious wine and wonderful decor with views of the range that is unsurpassed. A true diners delight on all fronts. Sets the standards that others try to match. A leader in fine dining at prices that wont hurt the wallet. Not to be missed.
K.
One of the wineries you must visit if you are at Hawks Bay. The guy that did the tasting for our group was very good, just love the way he delivered it!
C.
What a stunning place. We came in for wine tasting and to soak up the stunning scenery. Excellent service! I look forward to returning
P.
Went for a wine tasting. Stunning views, beautiful building and surrounds with good service and knowledge. Wine was average at best but the experience was greet
C.
Excellent winery, worth the stop! Wine knowledge was interesting and informative, and the place is stunning!
A.
The food at the restaurant was top notch with attentive service and a great wine list. A very special evening in such a beautiful setting.
D.
Will the waiter was amazing. Food incredible. Lovely day
H.
Food is excellent and the view is second to none. However, the service was unprofessional and junior staff not well trained. We wrote to the management after our visit in January and received no reply. No comparison to the restaurant at Mission Estate Winery where we had lunch a day later.
C.
Went for the wine tasting. They were very busy but still managed to accommodate our large group. Enjoyed it, would go again.
B.
Loved the food. Staff were amazing. Well set out.really well priced. Highly recommended.
4 course dining experience, vegan included
D.
Absolutely fantastic. Lodge was immaculate and the wood burner was a good touch. Great welcome with loads of information and the restaurant service and food was second to none. This is all before I mention the view.......
L.
We had an amazing dinner here last night. Great value, beautiful local produce and the best service we have had in a long time!
J.
Nice beautiful place. Can actually sit outside and do the wine tastings of there room. Staff were polite and friendly.
A.
Went for lunch with friends, awesome atmosphere, awesome service, would try the dinner menu next time...
X.
One Word "Sensational" above & beyond from the Daycore to the Menu topped off with great service reasonably priced but the views are stunning would highly recommended the food is definitely next level texture wise and taste I can't wait to go back there hint hint.
r.
Very nice food and friendly staff. Although a bit pricey, is an enjoyable experience.
R.
We did the 35 dollar wine tasting. It was great. We had a personal assistant helping us and explaining the wines. Would highly recommend it.
W.
The staff is very classic and polite. They explained where the wines from, and how is the quality. Definitely will recommend people to come here to taste their wine.
D.
One of the best winery experiences in hawkes bay. The food is all sourced locally. Everything is within a half hours drive! The haloumi us from hohepa. The flounder from cape kidnappers. The herbs and salad from their own garden.You are guaranteed freshness! The wine is divine. Order a syrah. You won't be disappointed!
The photos are from a garden party I attended for an annual FAWC event which was amazing.
M.
Top wine and have the most amazing views on Hawke's bay you will be amazed when you see the Ta Mata peak below and the people are great..
T. B. D.
Stunning location and a pretty slick operation. On the hunt for a Chardonnay but their offerings didn't tick my boxes. Didn't eat here but the cafe looked lovely.
B.
Craggy is the best winery in NZ, amazing wine, service and food.
D.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Mike was so knowledgeable, personable, professional, just a wonderful visit.

K.
A wonderful experience! Beautiful food, fabulous wine and fantastic staff.
B.
Incredibly beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend. The best winery I've ever been to.
M.
The feijoa sponge cake is possibly the best dessert I have ever eaten!!!
M.
Excellent winery. Great place for wine and cheese or just a tasting. They have inside and outside areas including a lawn for lawn games or pick-nicks.
R.
Well presented, extremely knowledgeable staff. Food & wine was a lovely touch to the start of our Christmas road trip
s.
A warm welcome. Excellent service. Delicious, exquisitely presented food. Heavenly -
Best dining experience in Hawkes Bay!!
T.
Service was on point! So pretty here!
C.
We had a wine tasting. Knowledgeable server, but very light handed compared to the server beside us. Good wine though.
S.
I’ve been here a few times since it open and I keep going back... I’ve never had a bad meal the wine is great and the setting is even better. I will be back
N.
The vineyard has a greater wine tasting experience compared to the nearby vineyards. It looks very impressive. Family thoroughly enjoyed
M.
Winery with an excellent restaurant. You usually need a booking. Great food, great wine.
지.
Here is most nice restaurant ever in my NZ experience. Staves are very kind and smart. I will come here again next travelling with my family.
G.
High end winery in a beautiful setting with impressive surrounds. Did not do the tasting but had wine and a platter in the garden which was lovely if a little expensive
A.
Fantastic range of top quality wines in a wonderful setting. An amazing overall experience.

WONDERFUL. Great wines, knowlegable staff, attentive service and gorgeous location. A "must taste" in your NZ wine itinerary!!
S.
Brilliant wine tasting.
M.
Perfect wine tasting experience and wonderful cottages for staying! Absolutely worth staying here because of the stunning view.

5 wine tastings for $7.50. Quite pricy but information and details provided is good. Tasting fee waived if purchases made.

Just amazing! You must get there and taste their wines
E.
One of the best restaurants i ever visited in NZ. Surprising combinations, really awesome taste, very good red and white wine.

One of our favourite wineries ( out of many!). Very knowledgeable staff and great wine.
