About Heron's Flight
This Matakana winery has been crafting Italian varieties since 1987, focusing entirely on Sangiovese and Dolcetto in true Tuscan farm style. Beyond wine, they're making verjus, vinegar, olive oil, and a seriously intriguing 18th-century quince liqueur, so there's always something interesting to taste. Daily visitors welcome.
