Marsden EstateLying in the Northland sun, amongst the citrus, is Marsden Estate, Kerikeri's award winning winery.
Original cuisine, complimented by estate grown wines, can be enjoyed in a relaxed courtyard atmosphere overlooking the lake and vines. Wine sales, tastings and tours are also available.
The estate is named after Samuel Marsden, who introduced the grapevine to New Zealand with 100 plantings at Kerikeri in 1819. The plantings at Marsden are a little more recent, but both the wine and estate building have a timeless quality.
So if you're visiting Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands, join us at Marsden Estate and experience the flavours of Northland.
