Covering 2,000 hectares and home to around 140 wineries, the Central Otago wine region began its journey at Monte Christo. Féraud’s original winery has been meticulously restored, standing as a rare testament to New Zealand’s 19th-century agricultural history.
Today this heritage building serves as our cellar door, where our guests are invited to taste Monte Christo wines in wonderfully authentic, historical surroundings.
Unwind in our Cellar Door and enjoy a hosted, seated wine tasting across our range of limited-production wines. We have three different wine flights to choose from, starting at $20 per person.
Walk-ins are welcome for cellar door wine tastings, subject to availability. For wine tastings for groups of 6 or more, we recommend contacting our team prior to your visit.
