Coopers Creek is our final venue for the day. The winery was started in 1980 by Andrew & Cynthia Hendry. At that stage, the NZ wine industry was relatively small & unknown. The venue has evolved over 3 decades into a top-class winery with a strong international reputation. It has innovative new wine styles, having introduced & pioneered promising new grape varieties e.g Viognier, Albarino, Arneis, Gruner Veltliner, Marsanne & Montepulciano, suited to cool climate regions. Coopers creek is satisfying a growing demand for these stylish new varieties but, of course, one mustn't pass up trying its top-rated & awarded Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Syrah & Bordeaux reds.
