Welcome
You’ll always receive a warm welcome at our home on Alabama Road.
Lawson’s Dry Hills Reserve wines are open for you to taste and often something else a little bit special, such as one of our limited Pioneer wines, or a wine from Blind River. Tastings are $10 per person, but this is waived if you make a bottle purchase.
Pick your own platter with a range of local cheeses, cured meats, paté and salmon; or bring your own picnic and enjoy with a glass of our wine. The picturesque courtyard affords views of our famous hills – the ones that are on our label – and you can see the original illustration hanging on the cellar door wall.
As the closest cellar door to Blenheim town centre, come and visit us with your friends and family. You can even charge your EV as we have a charging station especially for our cellar door visitors.
