Think Globally, Drink Locally.
Waipara Valley Wines are gaining global appeal.
"We were told that winemakers in other regions were coming round to the Pinots of Waipara... because they are so interesting relative to the average New Zealand Pinot Noir."
Jancis Robinson MW, March 2009
"Forget Marlborough. With excellent growing conditions and an influx of producers, Waipara is stepping out of New Zealand's shadows straight into the spotlight."
Bob Campbell MW, Decanter Magazine, February 2009

The names behind the labels together in one room.
Master classes
"There is no such thing as a stupid question..."
A change to ask a panel of winemakers anything you've ever wondered about wine but have been too afraid to ask.
"Gardener vs. Factory Worker"
A light-hearted debate about who is more important - the viticulturist or the wine-maker?
You'll also have the opportunity to try some local food from the region, giving you a chance to really "Taste Waipara"
