About Monte Christo Winery

This historic 1864 winery is basically where Central Otago wine got its start, and the current Paris family stewards are still making elegant, site-driven wines that taste like the land. You can do guided tastings at the Cellar Door, book private experiences in the Underground Cellar, grab seasonal bites from the food trailer, and even stay overnight in their luxury cottages. It's a full day kind of place just outside Clyde, combining serious wine heritage with proper hospitality.
