👍 Like my review! If you genuinely enjoy and understand wines, this is not the place to go. Of course, if you don't really care about wines and you enjoy the gorgeous views, this would be a nice place to visit. As a person who owns over 300 wine bottles from around the world, starting a tasting with Aperitivo Botanical that destroys your palette for the other wines they were offering. This place has a lot of fans for their wines thanks to their grounds, beautiful labels, and rich history. I was sorely turned off by how their wines are "stellar" instead of letting the people taste it and judge it for themselves. This was the only winery of the entire New Zealand visit which we did NOT buy a single bottle. We would not recommend our friends or families to have a tasting at Terra Sancta.

Nice and quiet little winery offering stunning views and knowledge staff. Went in for a tasting and came out with a bottle of Rose. Staff were attentive but also gave you space to enjoy the wines. Accommodated us with a sun umbrella so we could have a shaded spot. Overall a really pleasant experience
