Modern Dining and Waimea Wines

Enjoy an organic, fair trade coffee or delicious lunch with award-winning wines in the beautiful surroundings at Café in the Vineyard.

Our menu is based on popular French / European / New Zealand cuisine styles. Sit down for a leisurely 3 course lunch or enjoy a platter of locally produced cooked meats, seafood or cheeses with your favourite glass of wine from the Waimea Estates Cellar Door. The dining experience is definitely relaxed, fun and casual – also you will not have to pay a surcharge on public holidays.

During the winter months the open fireplace and comfortable couches are a great place to spend an hour or two enjoying good wine, food and conversation. All-weather outdoor dining is also available.

The Café is ideal for private hire functions such as business meetings, private functions and weddings. We are only minutes from Richmond and around 15 minutes from Nelson with ample, free parking. Please call us to discuss your specific requirements.
