Hans Herzog Estate - Blenheim

We stopped in for a classic wine tasting and had such an incredible experience. Maria was our guide and she was so informative and pleasant to speak with. We ended up buying a delicious white bottle and then she gave us a bunch of recommendations for our NZ stay. She was an absolute treasure, and we’re so happy we stopped in! We will be back!

Lovely personal vineyard. We had booked but arrived an hour early and they managed to accommodate us, saving us from a rainstorm. Great knowledge about the wines and also very impressive the way the staff switched effortless between English and German while serving.

A wonderful 2 nights in the most delightful 'Rose Cottage ', an idyllic setting amongst the vines, a short walk from the winery and family home, we enjoyed a wonderful wine tasting set in the garden in late afternoon with dappled sun shining through, little fantails hopping from tree to tree, like being in a Disney movie! The cottage itself was immaculate with many antique and original features, and the rooms were serviced beautifully, indeed we enjoyed a 'Vineyard Platter ' on our deck one evening and of course the wine. Super location, we loved it!!

Absolutely exquisite! This cottage is absolutely stunning. Would highly recommend, so much character and finesse, from all the little details (high end linen, bath robes, coffee, arrange of tea, fresh flowers). Beautiful interior design. The team at Herzog were so friendly and welcoming. We made the most of using the bikes they had on offer to pop around to the local vineyards. Highly recommend the breakfast option, delicious! We hope to return in the near future!

We were part of a wine club group who had booked a tour and tasting. Fascinating story of the founder (who was working away in the vineyards behind us) and the passion and precision that drives him to offer an astounding array of wines from a very modest plot. Herzog have a very different offering to what are considered 'Marlborough ' wines and is all the better for it. Great host/guide (Thanks Maria) who was very knowledgeable, very entertaining and engaging. The tasting itself was well thought through in glimpsing some of the wines on offer. Highly recommended.
