The winery was built in time for the 1997 vintage. All winemaking processes from crushing, pressing, fermenting, barrel aging and blending are undertaken on site. The winery has the capacity to handle 100 tons of fruit.

The second stage of the winery building was completed in early 2001 with tasting and entertainment facilities, including winebar and food preparation and serving areas.

Visitors can order wine by the bottle or glass for consumption on the premises, or taste a flight of our wines. Tasting can be accompanied by platters of local seasonal foods.

The building is situated on a knoll which affords sweeping views down and across the vineyard to the beautiful bush-clad Mahurangi hills beyond. Visitors can also see winemaking processes in action from the winebar.
