Vynfields is a boutique organic/biodynamic vineyard, located 3 minutes from the Martinborough Village Square, which also offers self-contained accommodation.
Vynfields’ owners John Bell and Kaye McAulay are passionate about producing premium Pinot Noir and Riesling wines, handcrafted using traditional methods. Awards include a Gold medal at the Royal Easter Wine Show for our 2003 Pinot Noir and a Gold medal (and Best wine in the Riesling class) at the Bragato Wine Awards for our 2004 Classic Riesling.
We moved the historic Maranui homestead from Lyall Bay in Wellington, across the Rimutaka Hills, to Martinborough (in 5 pieces!). This was a homestead that Kaye had loved from a young age, and we have enjoyed restoring it. A profile of the homestead appears on our wine labels.
Tasting and sales of the fine wines, as well as sumptuous gourmet platters, soup and hot bread, are available in the comfortable surroundings of the historic lounge of the Vynfields’ homestead. The enormous open fire place in the lounge is a great tradition when the winter chill is around. On fine days the tastings flow on to the surrounding verandahs and gardens.
We also provide two unique accommodation “escapes” one, Vynfields Cottage, on the vineyard in a delightful cottage and the other, Vynfields Villa, close to both vineyard and the Village Square. Both of which are self contained and available for those wishing to enjoy a unique accommodation experience.
