Malbec and the Pinot are great. Love this place. Wish I could've spent more time here. Becky was SO welcoming. Answered all of our questions. We left with so much more knowledge on wine. Had to go back here (after visiting a handful of other wineries) because there's is the best. Save your time just buy a bottle after tasting

What a great place visit. The wines are well crafted, elegant, and delicious. My favourite is the 2017 Albarino. We enjoyed a cheese platter and a flight of 7 wines for a very reasonable charge. And the staff were friendly, knowledgible, and made us feel very welcome. Highly reccommended.

Not only is this the best wine I've had but the customer service and response is exceptional. I ordered online and within 3 days (after the earthquake in Kaikoura) my delivery arrived. It was in perfect condition and now my Christmas shopping is complete. Amazing work team!

The Doctors' whites (Sauvignon Blanc 2013, Riesling 2012) are fantastic (5/5). The Beth bubbly is quite interesting. Very nice Petit Manseng 2013. The Tatty Bogler Otago Pinot Noir 2010 was terrible - quite possibly corked (1/5). The John Forrest Collection Southern Valleys Brancott Pinot Noir 2010 feels very young: high tanins, leathery (3/5). Lovely, relaxing garden.

Lovely quaint winery, family run, with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Come here for a wine tasting on a good day and relax outdoors in the beanbags. Beth's bubbles got our top pick as something unique and refreshing!

This is a very pretty place with a cozy room for wine tasting. You choose six wines from their rather extensive list, have a seat by a window overlooking the vines, and your flight is brought to your table. I love tasting wine this way; you can go at your own pace and discuss them freely with your companions. You'll probably be saying nice things because the wine here is very good; we bought at least two bottles.

Very friendly and welcoming team! The tasting was lovely, there are also very yiummi platters available. Good price (7$ for 7 wines). In the very beautiful garden were some games for free use. Recommended!

Really wonderful staff and relaxed atmosphere. Doesn't feel like they are trying to sell you wine, but rather share their passion. Good place to bring some snacks to eat at a picnic table while drinking different wines.
