A highlight of our cellar door is to explore the underground cellar which is home to many older vintage Matawhero wines as well as other iconic New Zealand wine producers. Enjoy an exclusive luncheon amongst this history. Tickets include canapes to start, main, cheeseboard and dessert prepared by head chef Thomas Boyce from the iconic USSCO Bar and Bistro. All these courses are carefully matched to our award-winning Matawhero wines including our new flagship Irwin Chardonnay from the 2016 vintage.

From modest beginnings in 1997, this year we celebrate two decades of wine and food on the East Coast.
