We’re continuing the Pinot Noir celebrations!

Join us over the weekend where we’ll be pouring our Pinot Noirs straight from the cellar! We’ve pulled together verticals to taste vintage influence side by side, a rare chance to try before you buy…

Less than an hour from Christchurch, it’s the perfect excuse to try the wines right where they have been made.

See you this weekend! 🍷🍇

Happy Pinot Noir Day! 🍷

Cheers to the grape that started it all! Here at Greystone, Pinot Noir has been the heart and soul of our estate since day one.

Join us all week as our Cellar Door pours a selection of our Pinots. This weekend (22nd–23rd August), step into the Tasting Lounge for a full lineup of Library Release Pinots, a rare chance to try before you buy.

Pair it with a vineyard lunch at the restaurant and a glass of Pinot with views out over the vines. It's the perfect excuse for a scenic drive out to Waipara, less than an hour from Christchurch!

We've also put together special Cellar Door packs you won't find online, plus a selection available on the website.

Do you have your ticket for our Friends of Greystone Feast this Saturday 18th July at 6pm? With only 6 tickets left, this is truly your last chance to grab a seat!

We've been busy in the Library pulling out some pretty special bottles! Here's a sneak peek of what we are pouring... However, there will be more special bottles available only for the night.

Nick Gill of The Food Farm and Michael Voumard of Little Owl Biodynamic Farm join Cameron in the Greystone kitchen. Friends, farmers, and chefs, all sharing the same values, all coming together for one feast.

At the centre of the evening is whole lamb, raised right here in the Greystone vineyard, alongside organic produce from Little Owl Farm and The Food Farm.
Sit together, eat together. Dishes are served along the table to share, with accompanying Greystone wines. The full wine list will be available, plus a handful of special bottles you can't get anywhere else.

Tickets are $145 per person, which includes a 5-course dinner with accompanying wines or a non-alcoholic match if you prefer!

What an exciting moment for Aotearoa's food and wine scene!

Huge congratulations to all the incredible venues that received recognition in the Michelin Guide this week! It's so amazing to see so many talented Christchurch venues on that list.

A big thank you to our hospo mates who are pouring our North Canterbury wines!

It’s been a great start to the week!

We’ve had the pleasure of showing .b our Greystone Wine Ambassador from Korea, around the farm. We also got her on the tools, pruning in the vineyard and working in the winery. No such thing as a free lunch here!

A huge thank you to our amazing partners in Korea, and , who hosted us on Monday alongside our North Canterbury whānau. And last night, the pleasure was ours, hosting them here at Greystone.

We can’t wait to see you all in Korea later in the year, and back in NZ in 2027. Don’t you just love how wine brings good people together?

🏆 Vineyard of the Year - A decade apart. 🏆

Ten years after claiming our first "Vineyard of the Year" title, we're proud to announce that Greystone has again been named "The Riedel Vineyard of the Year" at the 2026 NZ Organic Wine Awards.

We've been pretty busy over the last decade — three 'Wine of the Show' awards, twelve 'Champion' titles and twenty-two 'Gold' medals along the way. So to claim "Vineyard of the Year" again, a decade later, feels pretty special.

🏆 Champion Rosé
🏆 Champion Riesling
🏆 Champion Pinot Gris
🥇 Gold Chardonnay
🥇 Gold Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc

What makes this show a little different is that it's judged by a selected panel of real wine drinkers, not critics or industry insiders. Knowing that the wines we love to make are the wines you love to drink really puts a smile on our faces!

Congratulations to all the other producers who entered this year — the standard of organic winemaking in New Zealand right now is something to be genuinely proud of. And thank you to Luke and the team at for building a platform to promote NZ organic wines!

Earlier this month it was a privilege to sponsor the wines for the Māia Health Foundation Feast Gala 2026, an evening that raised $430,000! It was a pleasure to be a part in something truly remarkable.

The money raised went towards the redevelopment of Christchurch Women's Hospital's NICU, creating whānau lounges, overnight parent rooms, and family-centred spaces that help parents through some of the hardest days of their lives.

Our team were lucky enough to be part of the evening, and we left feeling grateful for the community that showed up for the families facing the unimaginable.
