★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Rippon estate is the most beautiful vineyard I have ever visited. The stunning views on the glacial Wanaka lake, embraced by alpine landscapes, are unparalleled.
The tasting is free and you pay only if you don't show up.
The vines are absorbing minerals from the local rock, the schist, and are not irrigated. Biodamic techniques are used on the property.
The protagonist wines are dry whites. Above all, shines the Osteiner, a crossing between Riesling and Silvaner grapes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful location! Sign up for a free tasting online before you go, it's informative and you get to try a range of wines with the friendly staff but you need to book. The venue rooms look perfect for weddings and parties.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We walked there from Wanaka and joined a wine tasting (free of fees, but donations to charities welcome). This was a very nice afternoon. The walk is beautiful (4km one way), the winyard beautiful with great views above the lake, the local staff extremely friendly and the wines tasty. it is great that they work respecting biodiversity. The tasting lasts around 20-30 minutes. You don't need to book it - just go there and wait until the next one starts.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We recently visited Wanaka and made a quick stop at the Rippon Vineyard. The venue is situated just above the lake, perhaps 10 minutes past ThatWanakaTree if you are on the lakeside walking trail. It is further accessible from the Mt. Aspiring Rd. if you are driving. Opening hours 11-5pm daily.
We liked our tasting experience at Rippon. While we didn't find wines here that we were in love with, we enjoyed our brief discussion with the young lady providing the tasting. She did a nice job introducing us to this vineyard and the varies grapes grown here.
A further quick mention that the views of lake are impressive from the Rippon Vineyard, perhaps reason enough to visit, even if some in your party are not interested in wine tastings.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The most beautiful vineyard, venue and view in New Zealand. The wine is of course delicious. The team at Rippon provided us with world class service and hospitality for our event - couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely enjoyed visiting Rippon, for us it was the perfect rainy afternoon “activity”! We booked in on the website half an hour prior.
The view is just stunning, even on rainy days. We were welcomed by Laetitia and got to try five different wines, which we all enjoyed - from the easy going Onsteiner to the complex Riesling and Gewürztraminer.
