Yealands Estate

About

Located in the Awatere valley foothills, Yealands Estate prides itself on sustainable practices and on the natural beauty of its land. Built on a piece of land that was believed to be unsuitable for grape growing, Peter Yealands was able to create an unlikely winery. The estate is happy to welcome visitors and offers a complimentary wine tasting at its cellar door, as well self guided tours where their environmentally friendly cultivating is on display. Primarily known for its Sauvignon Blanc, Yealands also offers a delicious Pinot Noir and some varieties of Rose. Buy a bottle, some cheese and stroll among the rolling hills with gorgeous views of the coast. Have a picnic among the vines and experience an exquisite slice of New Zealand luxury. Make sure to keep an eye out for the adorable mini sheep and the “overly-friendly” chickens along the way. Have a taste, or two, don’t worry we’re driving!
