Black Estate Wines is a family winery at 614 Omihi Road in Amberley, Waipara, in North Canterbury. Its wines are grown across four small hillside vineyards about 5 km apart, and the winery is certified organic and biodynamic. The cellar door and restaurant sit on the Home Vineyard, with views over the valley to the Southern Alps. The restaurant serves organic, local food, and the cellar door is open seven days with beef pies on the menu.
Visitors can book a table, book a tour of the winery, host a party or book a stay on the Home Vineyard. The website says the wines are made slowly and by hand, and that they are not fined or filtered. The winery says it is 40 minutes from Christchurch Airport and 45 minutes' drive north of central Christchurch. Wines can be bought in the cellar door or online.
