Really well thought out café/bar, offering opportunity to sample around 80 local wines via self-serve dispensers, in tiny, small and standard size pours. Beautiful decor, including succinct summary of wine history and regional differences. Friendly, helpful staff -- and good cabinet food too!
A fantastic idea, you pop a tab behind the bar, take a glass and your tab card Abi go round the machines sampling the wines, you can buy a tasting measure, small glass or large glass. If you like the wines they have bottles for sale too.
Good teas, coffee and cakes/snacks available also, all from th
Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy some wine and beer tasting. We didn't sample the platters but they appeared to be enjoyed by other patrons. The staff are extra friendly and helpful. I liked the fact that you could have a half pour, enabling more sampling.
Very cool place, wine tasting, local artists on display and coffee of course. The train station is a beautiful building both in and outside. Well worth spending an hour if you are on a stroll around town.
Very nice and peaceful place with a many choices for souvenirs or gifts. The coffee is absolutely perfect and the staff members are very helpful and friendly.
Great place to relax and try different wines from around region. Their bread & dip platter is a must order, perfect for sharing between 2-3 people while enjoying your wine.
Excellent selection of drinks. Staff very very helpful and knowledgeable
Friendly and welcoming environment.
Great selection of wines from the region and beyond. A highlight of my Blenheim stay. Below is my new favorite chardonnay.
Great place to stop for a taste of wine. You can enjoi 80 different bottle from automatic machine with a card. Very cool. Not cheap maybe but funny.
They have 10 machines that enable you to get a taste, small or large glass of wine. Get a card & then try whatever takes your fancy. And you don't have to travel around the wineries. Along with a cafe, what could be better.
If you like NZ wines, you'll love this place
Nice wine concept, friendly staff and delicious food platter.
Good place to explore varieties of local wines. Great location and ambiance
Want a wine tour with a difference. This is a must visit. Great opportunity to taste and work your way around the region of wine in one place.
We enjoyed our time spent here. Such a great idea that put you in charge of choosing what you tasted. The staff were so friendly and were a fount of knowledge about the local wineries. Because of Level 2 many cellar doors were closed. If you don’t have time to visit many wineries go here instead! A
Wonderful place, where you're able to try the best of the region's wines. Best of all you can try them in three sizes so you don't have to commit to am unknown. There were over 80 wines on when we visited, and not one of the ten or so tried was anything other than delicious.
Staff are extremely fri
Excellent selection of wines. We were there with a large group so we maxed out the place. The staff was helpful and friendly throughout our wine tasting. The meat, fish and cheese trays were plentiful and tasty. A positive was our choice of wines to taste and the group add fast access. From a wine t
Great spot to spend a few hours trying out almost endless varieties of wines. Knowledgeable, friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. This is a great option if you don’t have much time to spend in Blenheim, or as a starting point before visiting wineries.
Really liked the concept here - 80 wines to sample at reasonable prices. Tried the charcuterie board which had some nice cold cuts on there - all from NZ. Staff were friendly and helpful. Recommend a visit especially if you are new to the area and would like to get an idea of the wines on offer (wil
