While staying in Hawkes Bay recently we decided to treat ourselves with a meal at one of the more upmarket wineries. A few were recommended to us and we decided to try Craggy Range at the foothills of Te Mata Peak. The sun had well and truly set so we missed the views from the restaurant, but the decor gave...

Beautiful wines, gorgeous winery. We attended the annual Deep Purple Day as guests of the winery; the setting, at the foot of Te Mata Peak is stunning. The wines: The Sauvignon Blanc (Savvy) from Marlborough and Martinborough are quintesenntial Kiwi wines; The Te Muna Road Pinot Noir is elegant and richly-bodied; Sophia 'Bordeaux-blends' showing smoke and leather, a massive wine...

We managed to slip in during a quiet period, probably because there was a good chance the road was going to be closed due to landslides! We had a great tasting at Craggy Range due to the staff member who served us. She was attentive and knowledgeable, and made sure we enjoyed the experience. I think the only thing that... More

Stunning facility in a fabulous setting but there are more homely wineries to visit in the area...Craggy also seems to be on the coach tour circuit so we preferred the out-of-the way places which you can find on the wine trail map from the isite tourist office or any of the wineries More

Wonderful food and service for lunch. Loved their wine list - you can order small glasses of wine for a few dollars so you can sample a range of wines with your meal. Amazing views of Te Mata Peak from your table! One of the highlights was walking through the vineyard and around the pond after lunch, which the staff... More

We truly enjoyed the simple pleasures in the cottage during our honeymoon stay: warm, cozy fireplace, fresh bread and spreads and fantastic beds all within an arm's reach of the Chardonnay vines. We considered a variety of different options in the Hawke's Bay region (from Napier through Havelock North). We are so glad we chose one of the cottages in... More

We visited Craggy Range on a rainy evening in November but the weather did not dampen our enjoyment of this great winery and restaurant. We had a tasting at the Cellar Door before dining next door and the whole experience was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip to New Zealand. The staff were very friendly and helpful... More

The view from the winery was one of the mountain range in all of it's glory. We enjoyed the tasting room and the wine. We walked in the garden area around back to discover workers planting flowers. The herb garden was a lovely sight for a cook. The lime trees were in full bloom. More
