Book Your Wine Tasting
Immerse yourself in the beauty and aromas of our vineyard
Book your visit to Banks Peninsula's oldest vineyard and learn about French Peak's rich history. We offer outdoor seating under parasols for those glorious sunny days, as well as cozy indoor seating in our Cellar Door.
We welcome dogs to our vineyard, but kindly ask that they be kept on a leash as this is a working vineyard. Our resident cat, Kumara, often roams around his home. We would like to ensure his safety and comfort alongside those of our other guests.
​
We are also family friendly and welcome those of all ages to come and enjoy our grounds.
Please note that French Peak Vineyard is a private property and requires a "Wine Tasting" booking for entry.
