The Takamatua Valley Vineyards offers superb facilities including a vineyard, wine tasting and a function centre for conferences, weddings and other special occasions. The winery building is found high on the sunny, North-facing slopes of the Takamatua Valley only three kilometres South of Akaroa township, overlooking a magnificent panorama of harbour and rural country. Christchurch, one of New Zealand's main centres with an international airport and a population exceeding 300,000 is 80km North West from Akaroa. The region as a whole offers a well-balanced lifestyle, combining exhilarating activities such as world-class fishing and skiing - both within easy reach, with the less physical pursuits of fine dining and shopping. Wine tasting of boutique wines from New Zealand and California is available by appointment. The winery also features an off-license, with a variety of wines sold at very reasonable prices for visitors to take home. The Takamatua Valley Vineyards is 24.5 hectares (62 acres) and the land offers scenic, relaxing walks through a diverse mixture of native bush and open pasture. Sheep graze around the winery, and deer wander in the adjoining property creating a unique pastoral atmosphere. The first small vintage of wine was pressed from winery grapes in 1999 and we are in full production as of the year 2000. We are the first winery in New Zealand producing Pinot Gris |
