Welcome to The Landing Wines e-cellar door

Northland is one of the rising stars of New Zealand wine-growing, with a warm and sometimes frisky coastal climate that The Landing’s winemaker Ben Byrne believes can produce wines to compete with the best in the world. “Many of the best Old World vintages come from variable climates and marginal sites where the vines have to work a little harder,” he says.

The Landing’s vineyard is sited in a protective cradle of hills, enjoying a sheltered aspect. Through the long, balmy days of summer, sea breezes off Rangihoua Bay keep the vines dry as their roots tunnel deep into the undulating clay and sandstone soils for groundwater, drawing up minerals that give our wines complexity.

The best place to experience The Landing Wines is, of course, at The Landing’s own winery, which opened in 2019. Designed by Cheshire Architects, the simple, graceful building takes a cue from traditional Māori architectural forms, with a welcoming porch entrance and peaked roof.

All our grapes are pressed, fermented, and barrel-aged on-site. Our tasting room cellar door is open and available for small-group visits by prior arrangement. For guests staying at The Landing, there is the opportunity to secure “en primeur” sales of new vintages from the barrel.
