Domaine Thomson Winery is a family-owned business that proudly cultivates vineyards in two renowned wine regions: Central Otago, New Zealand, and Burgundy, France. This unique dual heritage allows them to create wines that reflect the distinct characteristics of each terroir.

Organic and Biodynamic Practices

Since 2011, Domaine Thomson has been committed to organic and biodynamic winemaking. This approach not only enhances the quality of their wines but also ensures that they truly express the essence of their respective regions.

Vineyards in Two Distinct Regions

With vineyards established in both Central Otago and Burgundy, Domaine Thomson benefits from the contrasting climates and soils of these areas. Central Otago, located in the South Island of New Zealand, is known for its dramatic landscapes and ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In contrast, Burgundy, situated in eastern France, boasts a long history of viticulture and is celebrated for its exceptional terroir. The grapes from both regions absorb the unique minerals and nutrients, resulting in wines that are rich in flavor and complexity.

A Taste of Central Otago's Rich History

Each bottle of Domaine Thomson wine tells a story of its origin. David Hall Jones, a passionate wine lover, shares that every sip of their Pinot Noir transports him back to the rich history of Central Otago. This connection to the land and its heritage is what makes their wines truly special.

The sommelier we had made it 5 stars. She was so knowledgeable, answering our many questions about the business and wine. This winery has so much history and it's interior design very intentional. The setting was also just beautiful. There is a short gravel hill to drive onto, just take it slow if you're less comfy with gravel.

A Beautiful single orchard winery near Mt Pisa with great views and lovely gardens. The property is beautifully maintained and the gardens provide a lovely welcome to the cellar door with the inclusion of flowers and fruit trees, some of which are used in the wine making process. The wine tasting offered a sample of 5 wines showcasing a mix of local wines and wines from their sister vineyard in Burgundy. We requested to sample wines just from the local area as part of our tasting experience. Our host Pam was very knowledgeable on the wines and the winemaking process. We sampled a mix of white and red wines and ended up taking home three bottles. It was all interesting to view the landscape paintings from the great great grandfather of one founders who was a surveyor back in late 1800’s. Highly recommend.

This is one of my favourite wineries that I’ve ever been to. The wine is excellent - from the sparkling to the Pinot. The Chardonnay’s are very smooth and the rose is one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s very scenic and the tasting room is beautiful with some interesting history and views. Great service as well! I highly recommend this winery!
