Experience Uncompromised Quality in Every Sip
Hanson Winery: Nestled on Ancient River Terraces
In 1996, Mike and Margaret Hanson discovered their ideal vineyard site along the historic river terraces of the Ruakokapatuna River. Initially intending to purchase just five acres, they fell in love with the expansive thirty-acre property.
Originally focused on olive cultivation, the Hansons expanded their vision to include grapes, inspired by the advice of local winemaking pioneer Bill Brink.
Today, the winery boasts over 6,000 vines and 1,100 olive trees, creating a unique blend of flavors.
Commitment to Sustainable Practices
Hanson Winery produces small batches of richly flavored grapes and premium olive oil, benefiting from a low-frost climate ideal for viticulture. From the beginning, the vineyard has adhered to sustainable winegrowing practices, and it is now transitioning to organic methods, enhancing the terroir's natural qualities.
Quality Over Quantity
The winery focuses on producing high-quality wines from its elevated, stony soils. The surrounding Canoes and Birch Hill provide both stunning views and protection for the vines. Under the careful management of Mike, Margaret, and viticulturist Nigel Elder, the winery cultivates grape varieties such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, which are crafted into red, white, rosé, and dessert wines.

Nice Pinot and olive oil. And a cabin you can rent via air B’n’B. Very cosy, just don’t bring up the subject of baseball with the proprietors.
