Vineyard
Located in the world’s southernmost winegrowing region, Central Otago is home to a number of sub-regions. We are located in Bannockburn, a small vineyard area, stretching along the southern side of the Kawarau river. In earlier days it was a centre of gold mining operations and the rich pioneering heritage is still evident today.
