Cloudy Bay Vineyards

Wine is of course impeccable, but I would give the restaurant a miss. Service was excellent though food did not fully hit the spot. Come for the wine, lunch elsewhere

Quite a lot of fuss with long waiting times. Reservations are essential. The wine and Perlorus sparkling wine (which, logically, cannot be called champagne) are very tasty. We particularly loved the classic Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. A fantastic wine. However, there are wineries in the surrounding area that have a cosier atmosphere, offer equally good wine and are not so pretentious.

Outstanding wine, we did 2 of the tastings and both were excellent, the 2025 Sav is the best I've ever had. I was also given a free glass of bubbles for my birthday, will be back again! Beautiful cellar door.

Visited cloudy bay for the first time on sunday. Beautiful exterior, easy to find and park, wood fire was lovely inside, we loved the indulge wine tasting really enjoyed it. Their sav. Blanc and pinot noirs are stand outs. We were looked after by a friendly and knowledgable young woman. Recommend a visit.

Absolutely beautiful winery . W took some work mates there to introduce them to wine tastings that staff we friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell thay really enjoy their job and a passionate about what thay do . Would 100% recommend this as a must do . Even left with a couple of bottles to share with the wife when I return home

We had planned to visit several vineyards on this day but the service we got was amazing and we ended enjoying a couple of tasting sessions, a delicious lunch and a fun time taking some candid photos. Highly recommended 👌!

I visited Cloudy Bay for a wine tasting and signed up for a $30 tasting of five different wines. The staff brought me a single wine glass, and instead of changing glasses between tastings, they poured all five wines—rosé, white, and red—into the same glass one after another. Naturally, the flavors got mixed. I had high expectations, so I was quite disappointed.

We are tourist from The Netherlands and we found this Vineyard by surprise. We attended at the sunset movie screening and it was amazing. The wine was so good, there was live music, the food was excellent, staff was super friendly. We will be returning here for a wine tasting on the way back during our holiday. On extra: did the winetasting as well. Got the 5 course one wich was 30ndz. The guy giving the winetasting was super friendly and took his time to awnser our questions even though it was very busy. He also knew a lot about the wines. The only downside was that there was a comment section during the reservation that you could fill in if you were celebrating something, wich we were so we filled it in. They didn’t do anything with it. If you’re not going to do something with it, dont have a section like that.

We'd mistakenly booked the wrong day, but they were accommodating. It's a beautiful site. I thought the restaurant is a little pricey. The beef tartare was bland. The fish was excellent. The cheese board was $$$. Wine amazing. Not much of a gift shop, which was a little disappointing.

Owned by Louis Vuitton. Beautiful beautiful grounds, a lovely restaurant and wine tasting room. We started by sharing their fresh shucked oysters and a charcuterie platter. Everything was delicious, service was knowledgeable & impeccable. I enjoyed my Sauvignon Blanc tasting sample & my husband a Riesling. Our oysters were icy cold & perfect. The charcuterie hit the spot! A wonder stop, lunch & wine experience. We left with wine.

What an amazingly beautiful place. We stumbled upon this place looking for a place to relax, and wow were we rewarded with a beautiful clear fall day and lovely hospitality. Wonderful wines, wonderful grounds, and we absolutely loved the charcuterie they served. Everyone with whom we interacted was friendly and knowledgeable. We brought back a bunch of wine from this vineyard and our friends were delighted. A must-go if you get a chance.

Absolutely classy cellar door with great food selections and a really pleasant place to sit and enjoy your tastings. A knowledgeable and passionate staff. The 2018 Cab Sauv is a really nice easy drinker for the newbie.

A relatively young vineyard known worldwide. Vines are exceptional and decently priced. We came during the "off season" but b the place still had tons of visitors it was under stuffed. The staff did a superb job catering to everyone. We did one of the tastings with thirty cheeses. I loved their Gouda cheese with spices which they source from a family in the North island. The grounds of vineyard were lovely. Overall had a great afternoon there. They have many options from a tour with lunch, but we only had half an hour to spare.

Excellent Great setting out side in the courtyard or on the lawns. Friendly staff who were very helpful. Wines lovely. Excellent food selection.
