We visited this boutique cellar door on our wine tour & were delighted with a lovely warm reception by the family dogs & owner who told us the lovely story of how their family became vintners & conception of the cellars name. We enjoyed some beautiful wines & ended up purchasing a bottle of Rose to enjoy later. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.

I love Framingham wines and have always loved their riesling - so I chose all their rieslings and they even pulled out an amazing sticky from 2007. The staff were fantastic and really looked after that and even gave my wife a cap for her birthday. Really beautiful setting with cool art space below. A definite must on any wine tour

On a seriously rainy day, cycling through the Marlborough wine country (wine tours by bike !) we stopped at Huia cellar door to a brilliant welcome and the most informative and interactive tasting of the day. We even learnt that smelling coffee is the best way to clear your nose for wine tasting. Great wines, we particularly enjoyed Vanilla notes in the Chardonnay, a truly unique and complex Rose and the fabulous 2013 Pinot Noir

9. Sugar Loaf Wines
Overall Ratings

A small family owned winery and vineyard with a focus on premium estate grown Riesling, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Come and knock on our door us and taste some wines with the people who really make the wine - we don't have dedicated cellar door staff, our winemakers run the tasting room and love to share the passion for what we produce. Unfortunately we're unable to cater for large groups.
Reviewed By L0zzaH - London, United Kingdom
This winery was a bit further to cycle to than some of the big names, but we’re very glad we did. We tried 9 wines with no charge and bought 2. The wines were the best we’d tasted on our tour of 4 wineries. The cellar door is small and service friendly.
