Monte Christo Winery

Fantastic! The work that has been put in here is awesome, from the renovation of the historic winery, to the new rooms, to the grounds. Everything is very well done and worth a couple of nights to explore the area. We stayed 2 nights in the Bladier Cottage and loved it. After a day biking, arriving back here is a welcome sight with cold beer and great food from the caravan! Dog and kid friendly. The wines are top notch. I only tried the Pinot Noirs and pick would be the Pisa, Bannockburn and their regular 2022. All grown in their own vineyards. The 2024 Alexandra holds promise of a being special wine in 5 years or so. The 22 is drinking beautifully now.

Wow! Where delicious wines and excellent service intersect in a beautiful location full of history. We really enjoyed meeting the wine manager (Nicholas) and we felt like part of the family when we visited. Best winery in New Zealand!!!!

My wife and I spent three nights at Monte Christo Winery in June of this year. It was spectacular! Already planning to return in the future. Rebecca was fantastic recommending and serving wine and also acting as an ad hoc concierge helping us finding other wineries to visit (it was winter so our choices were limited somewhat by the season). We had the Paris cottage and it was a VERY nice place to stay. Definitely enjoyed the in room fire place as well as the outdoor shower. And just today we received our 15 bottles of wine and our looking forward to drinking them.

Amazing winery venue and wines to match. The chacuterie board was the perfect choice to graze on while sipping wine. This is the birthplace of Central Otago Wine and they have taken great care to restore the original winery from 1864 and also buildt a great new modern winery facility that complements the old buildings and surrounding landscape. Definitely worth a visit. Breanna and Rebecca were great hosts, friendly, knowledgeable and happy to show us around. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Our stay at Monte Christo winery was classy, warm and friendly- the perfect blend that made our stay so memorable. The views of the vineyard, the delicious breakfast feast, the cosy couches, the huge bath ready for a soak after a bike ride were just some of the highlights during our stay. Could thoroughly recommend a stay here.

The best Chardonnay and Pinot noir I've ever had! Fabulous service, wine, and the grounds are incredible and filled with amazing history 😃

Highly recommend and well worth the drive out of Queenstown. Many thanks to Stanley, Catherine, Nicholas, and their lovely staff for the tour and tasting

We spent an incredible afternoon at the winery. The grounds and gardens are beautiful, the lunch from the food truck was gorgeous but best of all was the wine tasting. Sasha was amazing and sooo knowledgeable. The wines were fabulous. Thank you, we look forward to returning.
