Pegasus Bay Winery

About

The Pegasus Bay winery is a family-run establishment in the Canterbury region of New Zealand’s south island.

The vineyard was planted in the 1970’s and Pegasus Bay has since become one of the most popular wineries in the country, offering visitors wine-tasting and dining options. The restaurant serves fresh, seasonal produce grown locally and on-site, paired with the estates own wines for an exquisite dining experience. Pegasus Bay is proud winner of multiple industry awards, including the prestigious “Cuisine Good Food Awards” for Winery Restaurant of the year for 7 of the past 10 years. A tasting costs $5 per person, refundable with any wine purchase. If you’re attending a tasting in a group of 10 or more, make sure to call ahead and reserve a spot!
