Claire and Mike Allan were drawn to Marlborough by the intense fruit flavours in the wines. They gained further winemaking experience in key Marlborough wineries, along with an extended stage in Champagne, France.

In 1996 Mike and Claire established Huia Vineyards Ltd, a small private company committed to the production of premium and classical Marlborough wines.

Huia is focused on hand crafting fine unique wines expressing the richness of Marlborough grapes from the vineyard through to the table.

Blending modern and traditional techniques Huia makes seven premium wine varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Vintage Huia Brut.

The Cellar Door team welcomes you all year round, 7 days a week from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm.
