About Mt Difficulty Wines

Mt Difficulty is a Central Otago winery based in Bannockburn, known for Pinot Noir from vineyards that sit below Mount Difficulty, the highest peak in Bannockburn. The cellar door is perched on a rocky outcrop above the winery with sweeping views across the Cromwell Basin to Lake Dunstan, and it runs wine tastings.

A winery restaurant serves seasonal regional dishes, and the calendar includes events such as a Vintage Release Dinner. The range includes single vineyard wines, and there is a Pinot Noir club and gift vouchers.

Chef Stacia brings Indonesian influences and a classic style with a modern touch to the kitchen, and wines ship within New Zealand and overseas. Rated 4.6 from 326 Google reviews, 253 of them five stars.

Ask the winery directly whether it takes private functions such as weddings.
