Nockie's Palette & Stoneridge Cellar Door
Indulge yourself in our delightful boutique wines in an arty atmosphere with stunning views of our gardens, Lake Hayes, and the mountains as a perfect backdrop.
Where Art Meets Wine
Nockie’s Palette Wines and Stoneridge Estate have collaborated to offer a one-of-a-kind wine tasting & art experience in the heart of Central Otago, only 15 minutes from Queenstown, and 5 minutes from Arrowtown. Discover our unique garden setting and learn the fascinating story of the artists behind both wineries as our hosts expertly guide you through tastings of our beautifully-crafted boutique wines.
Nestled amidst acres of stunning gardens and vines, the Cellar Door is a peaceful sanctuary on the shores of Lake Hayes. Once the residence of New Zealand painter Da’Vella Gore, her artist's hand can be seen in every aspect of the estate, from the idyllic water features and English-style country gardens to the architecture of the unique tasting room.
Nockie’s Palette, founded and conceived by Australian artist Michael Nock as the idea of ‘where art meets wine’, has allowed artists and artisan to combine talents to bring you something truly extraordinary.
Since the vineyard was planted twenty years ago, Stoneridge has produced a selection of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Rose. Nockie’s Palette wines are made by a small number of hand-picked top winemakers from New Zealand and Australia, and include Central Otago Pinot Noir and Rose, Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay, Barossa Shiraz and Barossa GSM.
All the wines From Stoneridge and Nockie’s Palette are exclusively available through our cellar door. Enjoy a sharing platter and a glass of wine as you relax on the sun-kissed terrace, or educate yourself with a tutored tasting of our award-winning wines.
