About Coney Wines

Tim and Margaret Coney founded this family-run Martinborough winery on a bare 16-acre paddock more than 25 years ago; in 2022 the mantle passed to their daughter, longtime winemaker Lisa, and son-in-law Rusty. Expect meticulous, hand-tended wines built on the belief that small is beautiful, plus a dash of founder Tim's poetry on every label. Visit the Rabbit by Coney cellar door and Three Little Words restaurant on the Dry River Road estate.
