About your hosts.

About Stonehaven Vineyard

• ‘Stonehaven Homestay’ was originally built in 1990. The surrounding 20 acre vineyard was established in the early ‘90s. The Sauvignon Blanc vines were regrafted onto rootstock in the mid to late ‘90s and are now firmly established as one of the premium Sauvignon Blanc blocks in Marlborough. The previous owner grew the grapes for Corbans Wines who purchased the vineyard in 1999, leaving the house block and grounds of 1.25 acres. Corbans then on-sold the vineyard to Montana Wines, the current owners. The homestead was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 2000.
