Reviews of The Vines Village
H.Haven't been for about a year and it wasn't too bad. I had the slider platter and they were all really tasty aside from the fried chicken slider being very dry. My friend had the BLT which she said was lovely! My son had the savoury kids platter which he really enjoyed. Aside from the dry chicken, everything else was amazing and would definitely go again.
R.Great location and outdoor and indoor dining available. On a sunny day have your sustenance outside by the wee pond. Great vibe and good service. Waffle fries are hard to come but but on this day they were very salty. The fish slider I probably wouldn't have again (panko crumbed fish with a more refined salad may coax me though!) but my eggs benedict was tasty. You definitely need some food when you're wine tasting and this is a good option. There's also gin tasting in the village too which I managed to squeeze in after lunch.
S.Enjoyed a wine and gin tasting with the local Probus group today. It was followed by a delicious lunch platter shared by us all. Hard to stop eating the home baked goodies. The wait staff were so helpful and pleasant. Thank you - we will be back very soon.
B.Nice place, the outdoor area is awesome. Tables for all size groups and a decent kids playground. It’s fenced and nice and safe for the young ones. The cafe is nice, good food and coffee. Could do with a few more lunch options like burgers etc
J.Very busy cafe with ordering done at the counter. Friendly staff. Nice food with the best kumera wedges ever (how do you get them crispy? ).
Lovely relaxing setting.
J.Very good coffee. Nice fenced off play area for the toddler, would recommend the Rosti Eggs Benedict. Also had a gentleman playing some good live music. Would strongly recommend a visit here. Thanks Vines Village.
S.Lovely food and ambience. Staff quite friendly. Not an extensive menu but something for most people, includes GF, Vegan. Worth a visit.
v.Place was great .. not so crowded and the staff at the restaurant was helpful though my meal came 45mins after ☹️..
T.Fantastic, had a great time with my daughters and Grandies, will be back with rest of our Whanau
P.We went for brunch and I was impressed they had a few more interesting choices on the menu instead of just the same things that you get everywhere. I also liked that the green tea I ordered came in a pot with enough tea for more than one cup. They were able to deal well with several separate payments for our large group. And the Village Green smoothies are amazing!
c.Nice place to go with kids, just need some more variety on the menu.
C.What a beautiful breakfast and gorgeous coffee! Lovely, helpful staff and a beautiful setting with the gardens and vineyards around you.
m.Wonderfull spot. Nice friendly staff and a small lake out back to sit at and relax. Also wine beer and gin tasting on site.
I.Great winemakers breakfast and good coffee, a great way to start the day! Nice views of the Richmond range in the background, also do wine and lunches, one of out favourite places!
B.The cafe is awesome. Reccomend the Beef pasties
P.Lovely setting. Good food. Excellent singer to entertain us. She is brilliant.
S.Excellent place to take kids. Always great food and coffee too. Winner! 🙂
C.Excellent coffee and food, nice outdoor area with kids play area and lots of things to keep them occupied.
P.Super place to visit, cafe food, coffee and staff excellent. A few shops to have a nosey thu as well. Well worth a visit on the way to Picton or Blenheim.
P.Nice place, good food, good outdoor seating
- make sure to go get an ice cream at the store out front!
P.Gorgeous atmosphere and surroundings, but a little slow in serving meals, wait time was an hour and a half, other than that, very pleasant!
C.This place is great on days when there's not too much going on but they seem to have some gaps in staffing on days with heavy traffic. While there's enough seating to hold a decent volume of people, they don't have enough staff to cook and run food and beverages. They're also quite disorganized with their approach which is creating workflow issues, for example, I received my meal eight minutes before my husband's was delivered. His eggs were overcooked, likely from sitting under a heating element while waiting for someone to run them out. Our drinks arrived 45 minutes after we ordered and we'd already finished our meals. While the coffee girl apologized, it really wasn't her fault since the volume she was working through really needed to be split between a couple of folks.
Outside of the need to review best practices to impove efficiency (which will improve food quality), the food was average. Even though the eggs were cooked through, the other elements of the eggs Benedict were good especially the amount of bacon (considering you pay extra for it). The waffle looks amazing but is terrible. The compote tastes like the air freshener used in portable loos which ultimately makes it inedible. The waffle is heavy and painful sweet then topped with ice cream which tastes like fake candy banana. Breakfast waffles should be light, airy, and only slightly sweet.
The chicken ranch slider is good but tastes nothing like ranch. The sauce reminds me of tartar and one bun for two large chicken patties wasn't enough. The coleslaw was very nice and earned my taste buds forgiveness for not being as advertised.
The lemon cheesecake in the cabinet was also very nice. Light and not overly sweet.
We've come here a few times and I think it's a much better place to visit outside of heavy traffic days. If they were able to improve their efficiency and staff at appropriate levels, it would be a stellar restaurant.
J.Always 5/5 when I come here. New owners now but food and service is still amazing if not better. Awesome area for the kidlets to run around and play. Plus some gorgeous little boutique shops surrounding.
D.We were only here for a short time and amazingly I found the old fashioned woollen blankets. Bought 1 as it reminded me of the olden days, we couldnt give it away then. Such a luxury today.
D.Nice place, a bit pricy, but good to enjoy
C.Nice place with open sitting area. Good coffee and desert. It's a nice stop for coffee and toilet break.
C.What a cool place! Perfect for kids and well worth the drive down from Picton - so much to keep them entertained! 2 play areas, open spaces and soccer goals and balls. Food was great and service was quick.
L.Great place for child friendly easy dining.
K.Nice spot to relax and have a bite, do some shopping or try some beers at Golden Mile Brewery.
M.The food here was really good and the drinks were amazing as well. However, we did go on a very busy day and we're expecting a long wait, over half an hour though is ridiculous. The worst part was that the brought the drinks or first and most of us had drink them before the food came out. Overall, I would suggest this place but probably not on a busy day.
J.A fabulous spot to lunch, children are provided with a wonderful play area, dogs are welcome with all situations catered for!! Food great, service even better, we will be back
S.Stopped here after arriving off the ferry from Wellington. The place is within a brief drive from Marlborough, surrounded by beautiful vineyards stretching away as far as the eye can see. We dropped in here for lunch after tasting great wines at Whitehaven next door. Quick and friendly service, reasonably priced delicious food (we had a cheese and meat platter which was fantastic), lovely setting. A nice relaxed place to stop, eat, and enjoy, if you're in the area.
K.Very pleasant for a Sunday (or any day) lunch
C.Lovely lovely place for a relaxing meal. The food is delicious and big portions. Good value for money and the outdoor area is lovely and relaxing to sit in. Highly recommend this place.
H.Great to see the Vines Village Cafe on Rapaura Road open again - Tuesday - Saturday. Friendly service, nice coffee and fab food. Lovely environment too.
S.Lovely coffee in a beautiful setting. We had the most devine apple slice about 2 weeks ago, I hope they have it next time I visit!

G.Very nice food and coffee we will back next time for lunch, Thanks Vines Village 🍝🥂
G.Great place to visit. With a nice feed.
R.Not a bad place but the day I visited most recently they had awful live music that was so loud we couldn't find a table to sit where we could actually have a conversation. Ate our food and left immediately. Previous visits have been better but noticed the food at the cafe has gone downhill recently.
S.We have just had a gathering of family and friends to an Anniversary luncheon. Thank you so much your grazing platter was just amazing well done Vines Village staff.
J.Really nice place to visit for lunch or gin cocktails :) also great for families, lots of areas for kids to play
G.I usually highly reccommend this cafe for the interesting food and good service. However I recently wrote a private note to the cafe making a negative comment about a meal. I have not had the curtesy of a reply which is disappointing in that they have not acknowledge this. However I will return as they make great coffee but think they need to look after and listen to their regular customers.
H.Awesome place to have a gathering.. met by best mate there and food was awesome. Beautiful views and family friendly place
K.The Vines Village has always been a place to visit whenever in Blenheim. Unfortunately their popular Cafe is closed along with most of the other eateries in the area. Very sad to see.
J.Most delicious lamb shank pie ever my husband said.
S.A great environment to visit for breakfast, coffee, lunch or afternoon tea.

Atmosfera rilassata, personale disponibile. Siamo stati a pranzo domenica e era presente anche una cantante dal vivo. Cibo ottimo, servizio un po' lento ma nel complesso gradevole.
