The Cellar Door
Renovated (and slightly expanded) in 2006, the cellar door space is light and contemporary. Floor to ceiling windows afford views into the working barrel cellar and out across the lawn to the majestic Richmond Ranges, synonymous with the Cloudy Bay label. An open fire beckons in winter or on those still, sunny Marlborough days the over-sized doors slide back to enhance the strong sense of place.
Planning Your Visit
Our friendly cellar door team provides a relaxed yet attentive experience. From time to time the cellar door gets extremely busy so if you are planning to visit between October and March, and you prefer to avoid crowds, you may like to make Cloudy Bay your first stop in the morning. Feel free to phone ahead (+64 3 520 9147) and we can suggest a good time to drop by.
