★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An altogether good tour, which felt a tad neo colonial with a lack of self awareness regarding the rampant classicism that permeated from the place, which quite frankly was a tad off putting. The NZ staff were amazing but the British owners tried their best to inhibit their condescension, which equated to barley hidden irritation, especially when it came to the sales component....so gross ! And utterly unkiwi ! Great wines however, if you don't mind that kind of thing

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hands down best Riesling from NZ. Their single vineyard Pinots are of great interest too. However due to limited production it's hard to get a bottle of the best Pinots. Cellar door by appointment only but it's worth the time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved the free tour and tasting. It's by appointment only and lasted about 1.5hrs. It was really interesting and the wine was great. Highly recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Maybe the best vineyard visit/tasting experience we’ve had, and we’ve had quite a few! Not pushy, not salesy at all. They take the time to tell you the story of the vineyard and the wine before offering a few great samples. The location is absolutely beautiful, too. Amazing how committed they are to biodynamics and stewardship of the land, and caring for the environment. Will be drinking much more Felton Road in the future! Thanks for the team for a great visit!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazingly beautiful winery. You must book before you visit as there are no walk-ins.
The producers that made New Zealand Pinot-Noirs known throughout the world, lovely winery, tour is interesting and can't fault the tasting at the end!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great experience. You must book but it is because they do a personalised tour of the winery and cellars. This is followed by a wine tasting. Fortunately for them but unfortunately for us their wine is so good much of it sells out very quickly. In the case of their best 2 wines they are sold out in 5 weeks. This winery embraces a biodinamic farming model. Planting between their vines to attract friendly bugs and deter pests. They have mountain goats to eat pest plants and provide natural fertilizer. Additionally they have solar panels to provide for all their electricity needs.
Felton Road winery live and breath sustainable business practices. Refusing to overgrow their business so they are able to maintain complete control of all aspects of their winemaking. Hats off to you for producing one of the best NZ wines and at the same time maintaining environmental sustainable farming practices.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a stunningly great winery! You will not be disappointed. They offer free, seated tastings and tours. They are a biodynamic vineyard and winery, and make incredible wines they are passionate about. This is one of the best wineries in New Zealand and have some of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved our wine tasting here. It is seated and they talk you through all the wines so it is nicely paced and you can tell how passionate they are about their wines.
Couple of things we found a wee bit odd was that one wine we tried you couldn’t buy and another wine you could buy but you couldn’t try. Still enjoyed it anyway and the sad thing was that we did buy one bottle of the 2020 Chardonnay (which we couldn’t try) and opened it last night and loved it but now you can’t buy it anywhere. Will need to wait for the next vintage.
