This hip, inventive winery has a bistro, a gallery, a popular summer Saturday morning farmers market (one of the first in NZ) and an amphitheatre for regular concerts and movie screenings. Tasting the flagship chardonnay is like kissing someone good-lookin' on a summer afternoon. Excellent vineyard accommodation too (doubles from $390).
