Find Out MoreIn the up-and-coming wine region of the Matakana Valley, Ascension Wine Estate produces complex and interesting bottles of fine wines.
At Ascension Wine Estate, fifth-generation winemakers use both traditional and unusual varietals to create the unique bottles that are characteristic of this winery.
As a small-batch wine-maker, Ascension products are only available in select wine stores and restaurants. Of course, bottles can also be purchased after a tasting at the cellar door!
Wine tastings and tours at Ascension are a fun experience, with three options to choose from. First the Standard Tasting & Tour gives guests a 45-minute tour and tasting, letting you into the winery itself.
The Premium Tasting & Tour includes a walk through the vineyard (weather permitting), followed by a look at the winery and a tasting of six premium wines. The Super-Premium Experience includes an up-close look at the winemaking equipment and a chance to sample wine straight from the barrel.
