Founded by acclaimed winemakers Warwick Foley and Edel Everling, Johanneshof Cellars has been producing premium handcrafted wines in Marlborough for more than 35 years. Combining German winemaking traditions with New Zealand innovation, Johanneshof has earned an international reputation for exceptional aromatic wines, Pinot Noir, and traditional-method sparkling wines.
The winery's unique underground rock cellar—the first of its kind in New Zealand—provides the perfect environment for crafting and maturing their award-winning wines. Over the years, Johanneshof has received numerous accolades, including international recognition at the Decanter World Wine Awards and outstanding ratings from leading wine critics.
During the evening, guests will enjoy a guided tasting featuring a selection of Johanneshof's premium wines, including:
- 2025 Pinot Noir Maybern Single Vineyard Rosé (tank sample)
