Cellar Door Hours

Website sales available

Cellar Door closed for winter (Reopening September)

Welcome to River-T Wines, a family operated, boutique vineyard. Our vines were planted in 2007, spanning 3 hectares near the charming township of Kurow in the beautiful Waitaki Valley. The Cellar Door invites you to explore an exceptional selection of wines complemented by delicious food, locally brewed beer and coffee.

At River-T Wines we specialize in producing wines that capture the unique character of the Waitaki Valley, known for its limestone-rich soils and cool climate. These conditions allow us to produce premium wines such as Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Each wine reflects the purity and complexity of this special terroir.

Come and enjoy the stunning views from our Cellar Door, overlooking the vineyard and to the mountains beyond. Whether you're visiting for wine tasting or simply to unwind, River-T Wines offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Come and enjoy our slice of paradise!
