The Saint Clair Experience

Our family friendly and fun establishment is situated within a unique vineyard setting with views extending past the vines towards the ever changing and dramatic Richmond Range.

On a cooler day an extended veranda section can ensure customers continue to have the vineyard feel while being sheltered from the elements through extensive floor to ceiling glass sliding doors. A cosy fire provides ambience and warmth during the New Zealand winter, an ideal setting to relax and enjoy some of Saint Clair’s award-winning wines.

The extensive lunch menu constantly changes, reflecting some of the best seasonal produce and finest delicacies Marlborough has to offer. There are a range of options available to meet any dietary requirements.

Wine tastings are available with different hosted options as well as a tasting flight option. A perfect opportunity to discover the diversity of Saint Clair, with a large selection of award-winning wines available daily.

The constantly changing menu reflects some of the best seasonal produce Marlborough has to offer.
