By appointment during the winter months (just give us a call or email): Meet us, taste our wines, enjoy our art gallery and a stroll through our family vineyard in the beautiful Moutere hills near Nelson, with stunning views to the snow-topped Kahurangi mountains. Our wines are crafted from hand-picked vines on Flaxmore’s north-facing slopes. Clay-gravels, climate and attention to detail have resulted in fine, balanced wines which fully express our vineyard’s special character. We have just opened our unique gallery with a range of art from local and NZ artists, encompassing photography, painting and sculpture. A permanent art collection is also on display to enjoy along with your wine tasting and vineyard walk. You can visit us every weekend through the Summer (Oct-Easter) from 10 until 5 or, if you'd like to visit on weekdays, just give us a call or text. During Winter (Apr-Sept), call us for an appointment.
