Friends took us to lunch at the Brancott Estate, it had the wow factor right from the start as we drove up through the vineyards (which reminded me of France). The building looked as though it had grown from the side of the hill. It is modern and impressive to enter with a glass frontage. To top it off the... More

Great location at the top of the hill ovr\erlooking the vineyards, together with lovely food & wine & you cant go wrong. They offer complimentary car service from the carpark to the restaurant, but it is worth the walk up the hill if you are able to take in the view & make some room for lunch!!

A wonderful view. Gorgeous food. Exceptionally priced. Amazing service, with the nicest gentleman meeting you by your car to drive you up to the restaurant! A welcome that sets the scene of the entire staff and visit. Well priced food and wine with all being delicious - the setting and the food. A must do if you are in Blenheim.

Courtesy van from the car park to the cellar/restaurant door on top of the hill. Fantastic views and set-up.

It was a windy rainy day and when we drove up, there was smiling Crocodile Dundee in his van to give us a ride up the hill to the center and restaurant. What a magnificent place - architeecture, view that goes on forever, wine tasting at no charge and a really fantastic meal. I had the Sauvignon Blanc tasting platter... More

Usually when you visit an estate that has fabulous views and is among the largest wine producers in New Zealand you don't expect the restaurant to be very exciting. Well not true here. We had an excellent lunch as recommended by our B and B (Antria). The wine tasting was also excellent.

Loved the short video of the history of Brancott, the quick tour of the center, the story of the falcon and most of all the tasting of the delicious wines! Now we just have to find a store in the US where we can buy the ones exported to the U.S.!

We stumbled upon this place by chance looking for a special meal out. We had no reservation and the restaurant was full, but the lovely French waitress Stephanie found us a table that would be free in half an hour and suggested that we do some wine tasting while she prepared it. The views from the restaurant are second to... More
