Misha's Vineyard Tasting Room

Beautiful wines a stones throw from the vines.nnStopped in here by chance and had a wonderful time. We were served by Misha herself who gave us a great verbal tour of her vineyard, backed up with glasses of Centrals finest. Obviously showcasing some great Pinot Noir labels they also boast a delightful range of other wines which are worth stopping for by themselves.nnSadly not at the vineyard itself but certainly a much more convenient location, this is a must stop for any traveller I'm sure the locals are already regulars!

Central Otago wine tasting trailnnOtago - this name will forever etched in my heart because 1 it's the name of the university in Dunedin where I spent 2 of the best years in my life; and 2 it's the area in South Island famous for its wineries producing some of the best pinot noirnnWe proceed to Cromwell for lunch - a satisfying one at Stoaker Room - and there I spotted Misha's Vineyard Tasting Room nearby. On unrelated note, do try Stoaker Room as the food rocks! Similar to the wine tasting sessions in this region, a nominal fee is charged for the tasting but will be waived if we purchase a bottle in the end. The sales personnel who attended to us here was friendly and attentive - we had the opportunity to taste one the best seller, Pinot Rose, and bought one in the end. It went to our stomach on the same day when we reached Dunedin.

I’ve checked some ~30 wineries in NZ and I can say that this is the best kiwi Riesling. Limelight is worth dying for.nnLast time I dropped in I had pleasure meeting Misha herself, as she led us through the second part of our testing. Such a great time. Thank you, Misha!

What a great tasting experience that was at Misha's Vineyard Tasting Room. Very elegant decorated room, lovely staff and very nice wine indeed. If in Cromwell and you enjoy your wines a must visit.

Very welcoming and the lady doing the tastings was so calm and single-handedly dealt with 5 tasting couples simultaneously. Nice whites, not a fan of their Pinot Noirs, although I suspect if paired with food they would do better.
