Class, Quality, Wisdom, Hospitality, Value. The visit to this winery was one of the highlights of our trip to the south island because it excelled in all of the above dimensions. I am extremely grateful for taking the time to visit another winery, after the disappointment of Cloudy Bay winery. The first striking thing was that they are offering a larger selection of wines for tasting and the tasting is for free! They are that confident of their wines and for good reason! The woman taking care of us had only began working in the wine industry for 6 months but seemed to have the knowledge decades - that just tells you how much effort they put in educating their staff and how much love their staff has for what they do. The knowledge she transferred to us should be named, wisdom! Most importantly, their wines were MINDBLOWING! I’m not exaggerating. So much that we ended up buying two bottles of Pinor Gris, to take back to the USA! Another crazy thing? Their wine prices are so much lower than Cloudy Bay, while being so much better! No wonder they have been voted in the best 3 wineries in the world! I could not recommend this place enough. You will be treated as a first class guest without the commitment to pay anything, tasting some of the best wines of your life!

My boyfriend and I visited the tasting room on a lovely summer afternoon. Adam decried each wine to us in detail, provided lots of fun and historical background, and gave us some local recommendations as well. The wine in incredible, especially the Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Certainly worth a visit!

The best wine tasting experience we had in Marlborough. Delicious wines, free tasting, beautiful location, and above all, amazing and friendly sommeliers who not only told us everything about the wines, and explained how they get their taste, but also gave us tips on what to do in Queenstown and other parts of New Zealand. The tasting was unrushed, chilled and very pleasant throughout, we could have easily spent our day there just enjoying dolce far niente. Best winery in Marlborough, if not in New Zealand.

Great sitting outside to enjoy lovely view of vineyards! Great charcuterie board and wine testing. The sitting outside was perfect. It was shaded and breezy. The stuff is extricate knowledgeable about vineyards with details about soil geology and history behind this vineyards. I would say this is a nice spot to relax and have a quick light lunch or afternoon snack. We did not had to wait for a table. They have variety of sitting. Food come relatively quick.

Beautiful winery with great wine tasting options and friendly service. The wines are reasonably priced given the quality.

M. S.

Gorgeous cellar door! Free wine tasting, we went on a Tuesday, the bartender was friendly and she really had alot of wine knowledge, highly recommend this visit!

Not a bad winery to visit their cellar door. They have some cheap not so good wines on their list and also some goodies too.

What a great winery! The wine is delicious, the scenery is breathtaking. This is a great place to try their black label wines and compare them with the good labels. The tasting does come at no charge which is nice and doesn’t make you feel like you need to buy anything.

Wished we had gotten here earlier, the woman leading the tasting was exceptional, happily espousing the wine quality and we were suitably impressed, just is the pity that we are flying, though she did mention their delivery freight option and that will be taken up, cheers and many thanks. Dont leave villa Maria for a late arvo visit.

We were welcomed by a man from Washington who gave us incredible service and well informed. Wine was also spectacular; with a beautiful setting. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our wine tasting there last weekend. Very professional service by the two ladies, cosy environment and delightful wines. We particularly appreciate the Sauvignon blanc.

We just had a great tasting (free) and would love to return. The wines are absolutely lovely and the lady who helped us was so nice and gave lots of interesting information. Thank you!

My husband was new to wine tasting and we arrived towards the end of the day. Needless to say, he is now a Villa Maria fan. Our host (wish I remembered his name) was passionate, knowledgeable and patient, even convincing me to try a wine I have never liked, Chardonnay... I ended up buying a bottle!! Beautiful setting and lovely evening!!!!

This is in a pretty hacienda-style building with a nice tasting room. We very much enjoyed tasting their wines and especially loved one that's not available in stores. It goes to show it's worth visiting wineries even when you think you know their wines well!

R. C.

Went in without knowing the tasting was complimentary. You can have as many tastings as you're able to drink. The staff was extremely nice and very knowledgable. I was the only person in there for a while before anyone showed up. He also offered a lot of helpful recommendations.

C. W.

Lovely staff, delicious complimentary tastings in a comfortable setting. The outdoor area looked a bit average compared to other wineries in the area but you come here for the wine!

We did the winetasting while we were in Blenheim for a couple of weeks. It´s amazing how delicious wine can be. The service was very helpful and could answer all he questions. U can also buy the wine and send them overseas :)

Had a great wine tasting. The cellar hand was knowledgable and informative. They were tasting 6 wines, the Cabernet Sav/ Merlot was some thing very special. Highly recommended.

K. G.

One of my top winery experiences (from around the world). Excellent reserves, and fabulous hospitality. Highly recommend a visit.

K.

Very nice experience which was all thanks to the lovely gentlemen who served us. He was exceptional and answered any questions we had and much more. There were some beautiful wines but the service was still a major highlight which of course led us to not going home empty handed. Thank you so much!

We found the Savignion Blanc in Germany about an year ago and loved it. Needless to say that being around we were curious to have a look at the vineyard. Walked in and the host was absolutely briliant and the wine tasting great. The savignion blanc black label can be found only in NZ which is a petty as it is a briliant wine. Keep up the good job and thank you for the free tasting!

A. S.

Wonderful wines, and tastings are free! Knowledgeable and friendly pourer. So we ended up buying a case.

J. M.

We had a wonderful guide through all the wines of the region and interesting facts about the vines Stephen is a fabulously knowledgeable guide and I highly recommend that you pay him a visit if you like wine!

D. S.

Steven gave us an amazingly comprehensive discussion covering grapes, soil, wine types and of course a tasting of 3 white 3 red and 1 dessert wine (all complementary). Many thanks to Villa Maria and specifically to Steven :-)
