If you could bottle a day at Kinross, it might look a little like this.

A gorgeous pink sunrise over the vines, a bistro lunch with friends and a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir to warm you up on a chilly winters day.

Beat the winter slump and come hang out with us. Open daily from 11am.

Ben Hurley is back, and no two shows are the same.

One of Aotearoa’s most celebrated comedians, Ben takes the stage at Kinross with a twist: the audience helps choose the journey. With a fresh mix of topics every night, the show unfolds differently every single time.

Think choose-your-own-adventure… but with razor-sharp stand-up, hilarious stories, and years of comedy mastery.

The show is over 50% sold out already, grab your tickets before they’re gone!

Wild Irishman ‘Macushla’ Gibbston 2025 Pinot Noir has arrived, and it is remarkable.

‘Macushla’ is a term of endearment derived from the Irish Gaelic phrase mo chuisle, which literally translates to “my pulse” or “my vein/blood”.

Crafted by Wild Irishman’s winemakers Brian Shaw and Alan Brady from 100% handpicked fruit, Macushla is deeply rooted in Gibbston and builds beautifully on the success of its predecessors.

Complex and multi-layered, the 2025 vintage delivers depth and persistence, offering a compelling snapshot of Gibbston in a single season.

The release follows another exciting milestone for Wild Irishman, recently recognised in the Real Reviews Top Wineries of New Zealand, rising to number 20 on the list.
