About The Winery - Arrowtown

Skip the rigid vineyard tours—grab an $8 bus from Queenstown straight to Ramshaw Lane instead. The Winery lets you explore over 80 bottles using a self-serve tasting card, giving you total freedom to sample across Central Otago and beyond by the pour. Wine enthusiasts regularly steer newcomers here to skip the tour-bus markup while comparing boutique Pinot Noirs and regional pours at their own pace. Inside feels like a private lounge, fitted with leather armchairs and a fireplace for cooler days, plus outdoor tables looking out toward the hills. Order a loaded cheese platter or tapas like salmon pâté, settle into a deep chair, and work through your custom flight.

  • Self-Serve Wine Card: Sample over 80 regional and national wines, whiskies, and spirits independently using a prepaid tasting card.
  • Central Otago Showcase: Pours focus heavily on Central Otago and Gibbston Valley Pinot Noirs, alongside bottles from across New Zealand.
  • Sharing Platters & Tapas: Pair pours with loaded cheese platters, tapas, salmon pâté, and fondue suited for grazing.
  • Lounge & Fireplace: Plush leather armchairs and an indoor fireplace offer an easy alternative to outdoor mountain-facing tables.

Why Visit The Winery in Arrowtown

Discover Central Otago and national New Zealand wines at your own pace with self-dispensed pours, lounge seating, and artisan pairings.

  • Independent Card-Operated Tastings

  • Artisan Platters and Tapas Pairings

    A wide selection of local and regional wines pairs naturally with cheese platters, chorizo, and fondue for an unhurried grazing experience.

    Top tip the cheese fondu and chorizo sausage are a match made in heaven. Highly recommend a trip here, such a good time.

    Plush leather chairs and an inviting fireplace provide a cosy setting to sink in and unwind comfortably through chilly afternoons.

    Lovely place to relax. Especially in winter time by the fireplace with a glass of red.
