About Crab Farm Winery
Crab Farm Winery was established in the early 1980’s with the first vintage under the Crab Farm Winery label released in 1987. The land at Crab Farm has been in the Jardine family for over 100 years. Originally purchased without viewing beforehand – Hamish Jardine’s great grandfather was alarmed to find his new land was actually partially underwater. With tidal pools, rushes and hundreds of Crabs, the family jokingly named it ‘Crab Farm’.
After the 1931 earthquake in Napier the land where the winery and vineyard are located was raised over 2 metres. Hamish Jardine, owner and winemaker and his father Jim Jardine planted the vines at the home block at Crab Farm. Over the years the winery has increased in size with two new vineyard locations. Pukera vineyard is located in the Puketitiri valley and in 2012 the Shingle Pit block was purchased in the Esk Valley. The philosophy of Crab Farm has always remained the same to create high quality wines using a hands on approach in all facets, this is the true essence of Crab Farm.

β β β β β We went for lunch, on the way into staying in Napier for a few days. The food was fantastic. It has a rustic look, but is comfy and the food is a varied with amazing tastes, from local, fresh produce. Even the salads as part of the meals were sublime. Crumbed risotto balls may sound heavy, but paired with the salad, was amazing.
We only had a glass each of the wines with dinner, which were not great, so we did not stay for the wine tasting.
We were fortunate that it was quiet when we were there, so had the pick of seats.

β β β β β Pretty good food at a decent price compared to other places. Nice outdoor seating so it's a good temperature in the summer. They also have indoor seating for if it is cold. Nice atmosphere and pretty professional staff but sometimes the service takes a while. Would definitely recommend to others and it's pretty family friendly too. (Would suggest booking to get a good spot.)

β β β β β Had a lovely wine tasting here. The wines we tried were delicious and Aasta very knowledgeable.
The cheese platter was also really good with lots of cheese and fruit and amazing presentation.

β β β β β Awesome for photos, lots of nooks and crannies - great for functions, etc. We didn't like the wine though, a bit sour. Also, the platter is overpriced for what you get. Quite close to Napier.

β β β β β We love this restaurant so much we returned for a second Friday in a row & bought our guests from out of town this time. Such a great atmosphere with a huge central fire, candle light, guitarist playing our favourite tunes. On top of all that staff are friendly & efficient, wine and food are excellent...what more could you want! Good idea to make a reservation as this restaurant clearly gets very busy.

β β β β β Beautiful winery. Large playground out the way, very cool art shack and lovely wine selection. Tastings value for money and free if you buy wine. We certainly did. Great place and the food (although we didnβt try) looked amazing we will be back when back in the Napier.

β β β β β Great outdoor dining space and lovely live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
Went a couple times over Christmas! Really enjoyed the seafood platter, the steak, fish and even the chicken schnitzel. The lemon/passionfruit cheesecake was excellent, light and delicious not too sweet. Very delicious, great portions, very full and satisfied.
Some of the other dishes could use some improvement though. The pork belly was well presented, a huge serving but not as juicy as I hoped, a little bit on the dry side.
The creme brulee looked amazing but while burnt on top, it was icy cold. :(
It was both a busy night, so I would recommend to book ahead and go early, because they do run out of some menu items.
