Rippon

One of the most beautiful wineries in the world, easily accessible from Wanaka's city centre. Views were incredible. Photos should tell the entire story. The wine tasting session was fun and informative. Hard to believe it was free. You do have to make a reservation in advance. Courtney was very knowledgeable and engaging. We ended up buying a bottle of riesling and we look forward to trying it back home!

Had lovely wine tasting experience here. You can book wine tasting on their website and it's free. The lady was so friendly and lovely to all the guests. Wines are very easy to drink. Their rose and rose buubly is so delicious! Ended up buying two bottles.

This winery has a huge land that overlooks Lake Wānaka. The view of Lake Wānaka and the grapevine is breathtakingly gorgeous. We didn’t make a reservation in advance and were lucky to have wine tasting within half an hour wait. Can’t say much about the wine here, since I am a beer lover who only came here with my wine-loving friends. It’s still fun to learn about the variety of wines and the history of the winery.

If you are planning on getting married, this absolutely is the venue!! We are SO lucky to have been able to get married here. Sienna, Charlotte and Bis are the absolute dream team & we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much for facilitating the happiest day of our lives. Rippon will forever hold a special place in our hearts & we can thank the incredible team & amazing views for that. Thank you so much!!

Rippon is an amazing and warm experience. The people are lovely. We did the tasting and the staff were very engaging. Had a great conversation and learnt a lot. They had a wedding planned today and all staff were still making sure tasting patrons were well attended to. We had a group of 4 and already talking about coming again. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you to the awesome team here!

My Cousins daughter got us in for a private wine tasting as they were setting up for a wedding. What a beautiful place

We had a wine tasting today and it was very nice. You need to book ahead, and they hold tastings for small groups every 30 min. We tasted several wines; they were all nice but we enjoyed the riesling the best. Their philosophy is very interesting and one I was happy to support by buying a bottle (the tastings are free). If you're staying in Wanaka consider walking to the winery... it's a lovely 45 min on the lake path, and a 10 min walk uphill (the trail switchbacks so it's not as steep as it looks!) to the winery. The views of the lake and vines are fantastic. The winery grounds are beautiful as well.

Went to Rippon for a wine tasting and tried some delicious wines. That, paired with stunning scenery around the vineyards I would definitely recommend a visit. Just a short 5 min drive from Wānaka town centre
