The Cloudy Bay Shed

So glad we made the short drive to come here from Cromwell! Beautiful - architecture, food, wine, service. The Shed looks out into a small lake, vineyards behind, and the dining space gives you headspace. They have a grazing menu, not cheap, but superb, and the wine matching lifted both. We had the award winning lamb tartare with the 2012 Pinot Noir, the rabbit with the Pelorus, fresh focaccia and home made truffles. Service was great, friendly and efficient. We left on a high with a couple of bottles of amazing wine. Only sad we were driving so one glass of wine each. Also highly recommend their tasting flights, had one in Marlborough.

Had an exceptional wine tasting experience. The lady who took care of us had a great knowledge of all the labels and history. We can tell she really put her heart into this job. Thank you!

We chanced upon this place while driving back to Christchurch, and boy what a pleasant surprise. Beautiful interiors and everything you’d expect from a top class winery. We especially appreciate the top notch service from the staff, who was excellent in her product knowledge and friendly! Food was great inside the cozy sitting area in front of the fireplace. Highly recommended!

Great dining experience in the outdoors by the stream. Simple food which pairs well with wine. Also has the Indulge tastings at the cellar. The staff is very friendly and attentive. A recommended place to come if you are in the vicinity. Do book before coming as they have limited seats

The location is very pretty with a small pond with tables and chairs excellent for a bottle of vintage bubbles.

Came out here specially from Arrowtown to visit The Cloudy Bay Shed. We are so happy we came out to this winery. In terms of what The Cloudy Bay Shed offers versus other local wineries, this one is in the top 3.We were greeted by the wonderful manager who made educated recommendations based on our personal preferences, and tailored a special wine tasting just for us.The experience from start to finish was fantastic, and the wine was excellent.We felt we could sit in the lounge area all afternoon snacking and tasting wine, while looking out over the vineyard, with the beautiful lakes and mountains in the background.There’s great parking and amazing views.

10/10 experience at The Cloudy Bay Shed today. My wife and I had the shared platter, with rose, followed by a wine tasting. Beautiful atmosphere, views and ambience. Donna was exceptional and went above and beyond to look after us. Would definitely come again.

Just wow. What a beautiful day to spend our afternoon with great wine, cheese and a lovely scenery. It's a pity the sky was a little gloomy after all the rain but it won't stop me giving 5 stars. I was a little hesitant coming over because the few ratings but I was rest assured when I saw both the exterior and interior. This is a class act, which probably explains why the fine tasting and wine is a little on the high side, but nothing overly extravagant. We got a bottle of Te Wahi Pinot Noir 2016 which was one of the smoothest I've tasted, and finished the Kaikoura cheese platter. We were left raving about this place after we drove off. Tip would be to drop by here on your way to Arrowtown from Wanaka.
