We visited for a wine tasting and were swept away by what turned out to be the finest experience we had in the region. Diego, our host, was not just knowledgeable—he brought the stories behind each bottle to life with charm and humor, making the afternoon feel more like a journey than a tasting. Each wine poured was a moment to savor—elegant, expressive, and full of soul. This place stands above the rest—not just for the wine, but for the warmth and passion behind it.

We've had the pleasure of visiting the Kinross Cellar Door twice in the past year, and both times Melissa has taken amazing care of us. Her knowledge, passion for wine and friendly approach made each tasting a great experience. She guided us through a great selection of wines and managed to twist our arms to send a box of wine back home to Australia on both occasions. Melissa is a true asset to the Kinross team — we’ll definitely be back!

Warm Welcome & First-Class Experience We arrived late, just before closing, and expected we might be turned away — but not here. The team welcomed us with genuine warmth and made us feel completely at ease. Despite the hour, the service was outstanding, the wine was exceptional, and the food was absolutely first-class. It’s rare to experience that level of hospitality so close to closing time. Truly impressive and very much appreciated. Highly recommended!

Our visit to Kinross Winery was an absolute highlight of our trip to New Zealand. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We enjoyed a beautifully curated private dining lunch — which did not disappoint — followed by a private wine tasting. The food was superb: fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly paired with their outstanding wines. The setting was stunning, the service warm and professional, and the entire experience felt truly special. Highly recommend Kinross to anyone wanting to experience the best of Central Otago’s wine and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!
