Every season we have a special event here at the vineyard in the Waipara Valley. We invite our customers to come and be part of our team for the day. We'll show you the sights, what the vineyard looks like at different times of the year, and how we prune or pick our grape vines. You get a chance to meet our viticulturist and winemaker and we'll put on a tasting and a truly local lunch served with our wines. The day includes:
The day is free if you are a member** of our Cornerstone Club! Sign Me Up to The Cornerstone Club!: **Our cornerstone club members are part of our extended family.

See below for photos from the day.
The Day starting with Viticulturist Nick showing off spectacular views from the top of the vineyard across the Waipara Valley.
Winemaker Dom found some ripe Syrah grapes for eveyone to sample.
After a morning tea which include Gewurztraminer grape cake, the team was put to work picking grapes. Has anyone else noticed, it's the women working while the men are standing around and talking?!
Andrea unloads wonderful Conerstone Club Pinot Noir. Dom looks like he's been working hard as well! After all the hard work it was time for a drink. Or at least, a tasting of the full range of Greystone Wines Lunch was outside on yet another beautiful Waipara Valley Day
At Greystone we're pretty passionate about local food, and the lunch was all sourced as locally as possible. This lamb came from next door!
Lunch in the country.
More work after lunch- foot stomping the Pinot Noir.
Action Shot!
Lots of laughing makes good wine!
