Brancott Estate

Rack of Brancott wine estate Identity series bottles.

Under its previous name, Montana Wines, this was the trailblazer of the wine region. Now it has Marlborough's most impressive cellar door and restaurant complex, poised atop a hillock overlooking the vines. It offers an hour-long Vineyard Bike Tour ($35, 10.30am) and, from December to March, a Falcon Encounter (adult/child $30/10, 11am) featuring the kārearea (NZ falcon); bookings essential.
