Georges Road Wines is a boutique winery nestled in the picturesque Waipara Valley, just 45 minutes north of Christchurch, New Zealand. Founded by Kirk Bray, this 8-hectare estate is dedicated to producing some of New Zealand’s finest Syrah and Pinot Gris, as well as a popular Rosé.
The winery’s commitment to meticulous viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques is evident in every bottle they produce. Their small-scale production allows for careful attention to detail, resulting in wines that truly reflect the unique terroir of the Waipara region.
Visitors to Georges Road Wines can enjoy a range of experiences at their cellar door. Wine tastings are available, allowing guests to sample their award-winning wines while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and hills. For those looking to relax and unwind, the winery offers antipasto platters that pair perfectly with their wines, which can be enjoyed in the barrel room, outside on the lawn, or even from the comfort of a bean bag.
For a truly immersive experience, Georges Road Wines offers a unique accommodation option in the form of their Wine Pod. This beautifully appointed tiny house is nestled privately within the vineyard, offering panoramic views of the vines and surrounding landscape. Guests can indulge in the luxury of a wood-fired hot tub under the stars, explore the area on complimentary bikes, and even enjoy a private wine tasting at the winery.
Georges Road Wines has garnered praise from wine enthusiasts and critics alike, with some considering it one of the top three wineries in Waipara. Their Syrah, in particular, has been hailed as a “hidden gem of New Zealand Wine”. The winery’s dedication to quality and its stunning location make it a perfect destination for wine lovers and those seeking a romantic getaway in the North Canterbury wine region.
