ABOUT MELTON ESTATE

Melton Estate is a family owned boutique winery, restaurant and event venue, located in West Melton just 15 minutes from Christchurch Airport. We thoroughly enjoy hosting Christmas events for your staff, club or customers. Our own customer service expectations are high, and this has recently been recognised via a Qualmark 4 Star Plus rating. We pride ourselves on using fresh, quality produce sourced from local suppliers, including of course the beautiful boutique wine made from the vines surrounding the winery. We are happy to accommodate any dietary requirements as all of our dishes are prepared on-site by our own culinary team. Please let our staff know of your dietary requirements. All of our wines are available to “take home” at Cellar Door prices -a great gift idea for your staff or customers. Full cases are at special prices. Gift vouchers are also available. We are looking forward to seeing you at Melton Estate… Tracy Caunter Owner and Restaurant Host
