New Wairarapa Wine Centre

A new wine centre based in Greytown is set to become a cellar door for the entire Wairarapa region.

The Wairarapa Wine Centre, which will be located in the historic Old Library Building in Stella Bull Park, will give visitors the opportunity to taste a variety of local wines and gourmet food products, as well as the chance to meet the personalities behind them.

“The Wairarapa Wine Centre will be the cellar door for the region,” says Johner Estate winemaker Karl Johner. “This is a place where local wine makers will work together to showcase their products and give visitors the opportunity to not only sample their wines but also meet the people who create them.”

“The wine centre is also designed to increase the accessibility of northern Wairarapa growers to the public because at the moment many of these wineries do not have cellar doors.”

Scheduled to open in early September, the Wairarapa Wine Centre will specialise in the very best local wines and delicatessen style products.

Destination Wairarapa general manager Peter Wilson also welcomes the new initiative.

“Greytown is already a very attractive visitor destination in its own right and lies at the heart of the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail,” says Mr Wilson. “Adding an asset like this will help grow the town’s already popular appeal and is fantastic news for the whole region.”
