We went to Craggy Range winery, which was another amazing experience. First note: Bookings are Essential! Booking in hand, we arrived at this premier destination in Hawkes Bay. It is a family owned boutique winery with a restaurant, accommodations and well crafted, elegant wines. Based on the reviews, dinner would have been amazing; but, this wine experience was well worth every penny, creating memories that I am packing back to the States. The hostess, Lauren, was friendly and welcoming. We appreciated her beyond words and felt immediately at home. Once seated at an outdoor table, we basked in the fantastic scenery that is Te Mata Peak; and then our wine guru and educator, Michael, joined us at the table and the experience of being in the premier wine country of New Zealand came to life. Michael was wonderful. I asked him to speak slower, as I am not Kiwi-lingual; we laughed and he shared his amazing knowledge, from the story of the winery to his love and passion for each of the five wines I enjoyed. He knew his grapes and, as I asked a ton of questions, he jovially explained and shared his passion with me. It was awesome and a highlight of my trip.
The accommodation at Craggy Range is an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of and felt very relaxed. The facilities are top notch. The room was spacious and well appointed, bed was very comfortable and the living space was outstanding. The breakfast in the mini bar ready for the next day is a fantastic inclusion.
The experience and facilities absolutely matches the fine wine. We had an amazing experience taken through the different regions where the wines are made by one of the winery connoisseurs. She was so knowledgeable and super friendly. We will absolutely recommend to visit if you’re looking a unique experience when at Hawkes Bay
We were lucky enough to be able to snag a wine tasting experience without a booking, but book ahead to make sure you don't miss out. The staff were lovely and our wine connoisseur told us about each of the wines we were tasting, the regions and soil profile for each of the wines and how their wines might differ from others from the same region. The wine tasting came in two different classes, with the base 'family' wines costing $35pp, and the prestige tasting $65pp. The prestige tasting includes more wines and also includes side by side tasting of different wines of the same variety or vintage - a real treat for anyone who enjoys wine. Whilst it was a little steep price wise to what we are used to, the whole tasting experience was unique and ultimately we were very happy to pay what we did. The wines themselves were delicious and are to be enjoyed for what they are - don't compare them to what you might be used to from Australia/Europe etc. The Chardonnay was a treat and a real eye opener having never had a drinkable, let alone enjoyable, Chardonnay back home. The Sophia blend was also a real stand out. Food platters were available and ours was delicious, showcasing beautiful local and seasonal produce. The caramelised walnuts were a hit. The grounds and views from the cellar door were also amazing. This winery is a must visit if you are in the Napier/Hawkes Bay region of NZ. Book ahead of time, and allow a good 2 hours at least to make the most of the whole experience if going for the premium tastings.
We went here for a Cellar Door reservation followed by dinner. Our sommelier was wonderful. The garden patio is a wonderfully relaxing spot that my makes you feel secluded from the rest of the world. Wines are very good, especially the Prestige vintages. For dinner, we reserved the Chef's Table and did the full tasting menu. I expected it to be like a tasting menu in America - small portions, no substitutions, and not accommodating any dietary restrictions. I was thrilled to find that it was opposite : filling portions to the point we couldn't finish our side dishes, flexibility on every course for dietary restrictions, and accommodating of any request. Combined with a beautiful dining room, picturesque patio, and charming staff; this is a must do for Hawke's Bay.
Outstanding, absolutely loved our stay here during our honeymoon. The cottages are nicely decorated & very clean and the views are beautiful. Robin was super nice and helpful. Highly recommend!
Beautiful estate and surroundings, of that there is no doubt. The food was overpriced for what it was, granted it is grown on site which was a bonus. For me it was SO salty perhaps for my own taste/palet. The wine was pretty average and the grapes grown in Martinborough not Hawkes Bay which was disappointing. The wait staff were nice enough and knew their stuff regards the menu. But overall, felt like it was trying to be a bit pretentious and it wasn't worth the price point compared to many other wineries around HB
some crazy food, venison tartare and beef cheek were so good. but it's the little details, your water and accompanying drink are never left empty, the attention to detail was great from the staff
I would actually give a 10/5. . We booked Chef's table at the Restaurant and picked the Summer Menu. What an amazing experience it was! Each and every delicacy was more delicious than the other. Hard to pick the best. Every item delivered by the Chef was truly exquisite. Never before had my girlfriend and I had such a grandiose dinner!! Must Visit place for everyone on this planet.
A wonderful afternoon enjoying the delicious Summer Tasting menu and a stroll around the grounds. Great service and creative, beautifully presented food. This was a memorable experience.
