Wine & Food - Wineries & Wine Tastings
Such was the quality of pasture and hospitality here that more than a century ago this stretch of country was looked upon as a welcome halting place for all types of travellers - 'be they a man with his bluey packed, a hawker peddling his wares or the gentry of high degree'. Those historic pastures now yield remarkable wines and our hospitality remains as warm as ever.
We look forward to welcoming you at our cellar door - where you'll not only have the opportunity to taste the full range of our wines but also to discover the kiwi ingenuity and innovation at the heart of Yealands Estate.

Getting Here
The Yealands Estate Winery is nestled on the Seaview Peninsular in the Awatere Valley, to the south east of Marlborough's Wairau Plains. Whether you're travelling north or south it' a spectacular journey along SH1 on a route that traverses some of New Zealand's most historically significant countryside.
Travelling South from Blenheim allow 20 minutes for a liesurely drive through the Dashwood Pass and into the Awatere Valley. Follow SH1 to Seddon, turn left at Wakefield Street and head straight onto Seaview Road.
Travelling North from Kaikoura it's about a one-hour drive on SH1. Your route hugs the coast for much of the journey before bringing you inland to the historic Flaxmere District. At Seddon turn right onto Seaview Road.
Follow Seaview Road 5km as it winds through the rolling vineyard until you reach the Yealands Estate Winery.
