At Thyme Hill, we proudly cultivate the world’s southernmost Merlot. Join us for a vertical tasting featuring up to four distinct vintages, paired with our exquisite Rosé wines. As a boutique winery, we invite you to visit our vineyard, engage with our passionate wine growers, and hear the story behind our unique Merlot production in Central Otago.
Our wines reflect the authenticity of our region, and Merlot enthusiasts often spend at least an hour savoring the flavors and learning about our winemaking process. Each tasting is hosted by the vineyard owner, who shares insights and personal anecdotes that enhance your experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or new to the world of wine, Thyme Hill offers a memorable experience for you and your loved ones. Come and taste the exceptional Merlot that sets us apart in the wine community!

Write a reviewWe had such a lovely afternoon with Inge, enjoying a wine tasting that was both educational and memorable. This tasting was different from what we're used to, which was really nice. Inge was with us the whole time, which made it feel like an intimate event. We enjoyed the experience and learned a lot. The wines were outstanding (especially Merlot 2019), and we can't wait to taste the wine we bought again. If you're ever in the area, you should definitely stop by for a tasting—you won't be disappointed!

Today there is a beautiful and educational tasting of Merlot wines (unique in Central Otago!). Very nice and recommended. The last steep part uphill was more than worth it! 😀

We visited Inge at her rustic vineyard today and were delighted to taste her delicious wines and meet her gorgeous kelpie pup, Stoney. The merlot was amazing ad the Rose was the most unique and delicious I have tasted in a long while. I couldn't resist buying a few bottles, even though i didn't have the room in my suitcase. Thank you for the tasting, Inge. Was lovely to meet you!

Had a lovely time this morning wine tasting at this vineyard. Recommend especially for the merlot drinkers out there....this is their big point of difference in the Central Otago wine region. The rose compares very well to other local roses, too.
