About Palliser
Perched on the wild Wairarapa coast where the Ruamahanga River meets the sea, Palliser crafts wines shaped by the bold weather and pioneering spirit of Cape Palliser. You can taste their wines in the vineyard, pair them with Italian-inspired lunches (Thursday to Monday) or share platters on slower days, all while taking in views that've inspired explorers for centuries.
