Love that this collaboration is by two w**eries… it’s not a them vs us, it’s a win for the region. Showcasing what our soils can create and introducing the people who create the w**es. Andrew and Katie have a wealth knowledge backed by generational experience and we are thrilled to be partners alongside them for what can only be a DELICIOUS evening. Book your table now… we’d love to see you there!

Fernbank is in Christchurch. Find Chapter One Pinot Noir 2021 at the Cellar Door.

Cosy, refined yet easy going there’s something for everyone’s taste. We love the menus, pairings and encouragement in making w**e approachable- it’s a core value of ours too. 📸 I loved shooting these pics. Their palette, patterns, reflections and textures are just so yummy.

Cheers to Tim and the whole team for sharing our w**e with passion. 🍷

North Canterbury doesn’t need to shout about how good it is. The w**e says plenty.

We had SUCH a great night at the North Canterbury W**e Collective- it really affirmed why we do what we do!

To everyone who came and met us, tasted our w**es and encouraged us - thank you SO much. We genuinely LOVED meeting you.

Chillin’ in Fiji…. 🏝️ 🥥 ☀️…. told you we were due another holiday! 🤭

27/05/2026

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Well, that’s how it feels for us – this is when we officially start our year.

Holiday and rest is done and now winter slows things down a notch. As the shorter daylight hours limit vineyard activity and progress, this year we’ll be donning a few more hats and meeting new people to showcase our w**es – sales and marketing! Goodbye comfort zone and hello new growth. Always learning and we love it.

(📸 And yes this pic because it will ALWAYS trump a pic of our vineyard in winter REGARDLESS of how sunny we get them in North Canterbury!)

Fernbank in the wild!!

We have looked forward to these moments for a VERY long time and did NOT disappoint.

We had the most memorable couple of days on safari and we LOVED spending it with friends and making new ones.

These memories will live a LONG time during pruning season!!!

Time OUT!!.

We often get asked when do we stop- NOW!! For us it’s the best timing: the year is done, the mahi has paid off, nothing needs to happen in the vineyard (for once!) and we step away now to savour that good feeling.

When we come back pruning is the start of a new season and a new year and we do it all again… but for now we are catching up with dear friends, exploring Sri Lanka and RELAXING!!

Win. Win. Win
