What User likes about Wairau River Wines:
I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. I tried the pâté, which was to die for, and my friend enjoyed the clam chowder, which was also quite nice. The atmosphere was great, and we shared some good laughs. For dessert, we had coffee that was definitely worth the price. Overall, the entire experience was well worth the visit, and I would highly recommend this winery. View all feedback.

Be sure you make this your lunch stop. Book ahead as it's a popular place and order the blue cheese soufflé. The wines are top notch too

We biked from the centre of Blenheim under very windy conditions and as such we were late for our booking. This was not an issue and we were seated immediately....
