River-T Wines vineyard was planted in 2007, as a small boutique vineyard with a mix of grape varieties, on the banks of the Waitaki River near the Kurow township (40 minutes inland from Oamaru). 
We hand-harvest our grapes from April until mid-May, making it one of the last vineyards to harvest in New Zealand. 

Our Cellar Door was built in 2018 and is situated at the front of the vineyard. It provides stunning views of not only the vineyard and Station Peak hills but also the St Mary mountain range. Not only do we have a fantastic selection of our own River-T Wines but we also stock the worlds largest selection of Waitaki Valley wines!

River-T Wines' philosophy is to remain a small, boutique vineyard and focus totally on quality from the paddock to the glass. 

We thank you for visiting our site and we trust you will enjoy the Waitaki's finest wines.
