Haythornthwaite Wines

Small-batch wine, made with care in Martinborough

Set on Martinborough’s celebrated golden mile, Haythornthwaite Winery crafts elegant, small-batch wines that reflect the land they come from. Family-owned and hands-on, the focus is on quality over quantity, with thoughtfully grown fruit and a winemaking style that lets each vintage speak for itself. From the vineyard to the glass, Haythornthwaite is about honest wine, warm hospitality, and taking the time to enjoy both.

Our story

Originally planted in 1992 with later additions in 2005–06, we’ve since sold the back blocks of our vineyard but retained the front Pinot Noir block and secured long-term fruit contracts to continue making wine into retirement.
