Lawson's Dry Hills Wines

Experience a warm welcome at our cellar door and a taste of our award-winning, certified sustainable wines. At the foot of our famous ‘dry hills’, our walled courtyard is lovely for enjoying a glass of wine and delicious local nibbles. These are the hills that feature on our label and give us our sense of place.

Recipient of the 2023 New Zealand International Business Award, ‘Excellence in Sustainability’, Lawson’s Dry Hills is New Zealand’s most independently accredited sustainable wine producer. Certified 100% sustainable (ISO14001), the wines are made at our Toitū certified (ISO14064) net carbon-zero winery. We are a relaxed bunch but take making wine seriously. We do everything themselves, from growing the grapes to making and bottling the wines on site, ensuring each one is an authentic representation of the grape variety and the land from which it is grown.
