Dog Point Vineyard

We’ve done many wine tasting and vineyard tours - but Dog Point was truly special. Already before our travels, we knew we wanted to go there for the good (and organic!) wines. However, Kirsty made the whole experience also special from many other angles - showing us the estate, discussing many topics openly and just being very warm. Thank you so much for everything, we will remember this day with every bottle we enjoy.

We had a wonderful tasting at Dog Point. We have a couple of their wines in San Francisco and loved them, so we emailed Dog Point and they got right back to us with their availability for a tasting and brief tour. Everyone was so lovely and down to earth and inviting, and the wines we tasted were even better than the ones we can get in the US. We went to other wineries too and they all said that Dog Point is one of the best in the area!!

We had a fantastic experience at Dog Point Winery! When we arrived on Wednesday, we learned that tastings are by appointment at 11 AM, so we booked for the following morning – and it was well worth it. While they focus on just four wines, each one is crafted beautifully. Winston was an absolute gem, taking us up into the vineyards to show where they grow their different grape varieties. His knowledge and passion made the visit even more special. Our favorites were the special Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir—both exceptional! Dog Point is definitely a winery to remember. Thanks for making our visit so enjoyable! Jamie & Becs

Winston was a great tour guide to my husband and I- the tasting is a must

Dog point was our favorite wine tasting experience in all of New Zealand. Winston hosted us and was warm, friendly, and provided wonderful insight into the farming practices that go into the wine. The wines themselves were also delicious and he even had us taste a 2011 Sauvignon blanc! He also brought us into the vineyard. Highly recommend booking a tasting with them!

Amazing wines, everyone knows Dog point wines never get wrong, especially their Section 94! Staff members are friendly and helpful. I told them my parents don't speak English and can we have the tour in slow pace. They even arrange a separate tour for us and get their vine manager Mr. Guo who can speak Cantonese to introduce to us. Unfortunately, we can only speak Mandarin, so translation is needed🤣 He knows so well about the vineyards and he is truely love his job and Dog Point. My parents are very pleased with the whole tour. Highly recommend!!!

Great Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Must schedule an appointment, but they are easy to work with. Sampled current releases and some library releases, which was awesome to see how things age. A home run!

Wonderful tasting, Explanation of the history of Dog Point and tour of some of the vineyards hosted by Jak. A great reinforcement of the quality of Dog Point. Thank you Jak!!
