THE WINERY

When we opened The Winery in central Queenstown in May 2005 we were one of the world's first and largest wine tasting experiences. With a focus on bringing the best of New Zealand wine to one location, The Winery's reputation grew and in 2019 we were recognised by TripAdvisor in the World's Top 10 wine experiences People's Choice Awards.

In February 2020 The Winery opened a second store in Arrowtown, taking the experience to the next level with more whisky and gin tastings, our famous cheeseboards with a new tapas menu and a decor designed for the relaxation and comfort of our customers.

Vermouth

Vermouth is an aromatic fortified wine that is flavoured with various botanicals and sometimes has colour added. Vermouth is made from a neutral grape wine or unfermented wine must and has additional alcohol and botanicals added. 

Initially, vermouth was used for medicinal purposes but was later offered as an aperitif and ingredient in cocktails. Traditionally, there were two types of vermouth: dry and sweet. Now there are additional styles that have been created to meet demand. Common newer styles are extra-dry white, sweet white (blanc or bianco), red, amber (ambre or rosso), and rosé.
