Enquire about wine tastingsOur rustic cellar door greets you with a friendly warm welcome. Come in to hear our hands-on wine knowledge & stories. Leave with a fabulous bottle or two of our acclaimed wines, or a few cases for your cellar!
With a personality to match our wines, our rustic cellar door has matured from its original days as a Ford Motors garage in Hastings. With the addition of lovingly restored, reclaimed native timbers from the long demolished Napier railway sheds, old red bricks and fondly collected memorabilia, our cellar door has grown into, a renowned and well established hospitality & tourism destination reflecting its long history from 1915 to today.
"… this small, quality-focused producer consistently makes one of the country's biggest and most robust chardonnays.”
Bob Campbell, Gourmet Traveller Wine magazine
Our Cellar Door manager Philip started his career as a high schoolteacher in the 1980’s and things weaved a little from there. During 24 years living in the UK he drifted into the wine industry via his second career in Marketing. He then caught the bug and trained with the Wine and Spirit Education Trust in London and became a qualified wine educator.
Returning to NZ in late 2019 he feels he has gone full circle. “Every day I get to talk about our wines with our fabulous guests and I like to throw in a little wine education for free”. “Our guests visit Clearview Estate for a good time, it is their wine tasting experience, not mine, so I don’t get too geeky or snobbish about it” “For me, it’s not really work, it’s pleasure”.
