Urban Winery with barrels, concrete egg shaped tanks and cellar door. Wine bar and function center situated in historic art deco National Tobacco Factory
Reviewed By LynleyJ44 - Christchurch, New Zealand
Stumbled across the Urban Winery on way to the 4square. Tucked away in an almost industrial area next to the Art Deco tobacco factory it is well worth checking out. We sat on stools at the bar and sampled some fabulous local wines. Food platters are also available and while we didn’t have one, others were and they looked great. Staff very knowledgeable on the different wines.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 57 reviews
Come along our little oneway street to enjoy pre-dinner drinks, a night cap or dinner itself. We serve artisan cocktails, local beers and ciders, but wine is our true passion! We have wines from all over the world and a great selection of NZ independent producers, including organic, biodynamic and natural wines. We are always happy to tell the stories of wines and the people who make them, because we know and love them. We believe in the joy of sharing wine, food and great moments among friends. That’s why our food menu designed around sharable platters and tapas. We also operate as a wine shop, so you can always take your favourite wine with you

The Wine Bank situated in the square at Martinborough is a self serve, pay as you go wine tasting room. The wine bank offers self serve to about 60 different vineyards/varieties of wine. When you enter the wine bank, approach the counter and swap your credit card for a wine bank card. The wine bank card records how much $ value if wine you have tasted while visiting the bank. The wine bank also offers the purchase of gourmet platters to have while tasting the wines. The serving of each wine comes in 3 sizes and you are charged according to the amount you consume. The wine is expensive in this format, but you do get to taste many wine from different vineyards at the same location. We enjoyed getting into some of the Pinot Noirs. Dry River, Craggy Range, Escarpment, Schubert, ATA Rangi, Te Awa just to name a few. Great concept!
8. Crown Range Cellar Wine Lounge Parnell
Crown Range Cellar Wine Lounge is a tranquil place for everyone to enjoy a beautiful glass of Crown Range Cellars Wine weather it be a taste or a glass. We also have some Waikiki Brewing company’s beers on and and have a wonderful list of tapas available. The venue is also available for events and also enquire about out wonderful membership and it’s benefits. On days closed we are available by appointment only.
