Made in Matakana since 1987
We’re proud to be Matakana’s original cellar door.
Made with love. Made with family. Made with Italian grapes. Made with care and craft and constancy. Made without haste. Made with pleasure. Made with conversation and conviviality and no small amount of laughter. Made in a winery attached to an intimate little tasting room at the end of a funny little drive. Just follow the clink of glasses.
Our story
Mary and David noticed that the best conversations, the most pleasurable times, came over drinking wine. And they wanted to capture that. So, Heron’s Flight was born. 35 years on they’re still here, capturing the essence, romance and simplicity of Italian life in an original Matakana way.
Visit our Tasting Room
The driveway takes you past the vineyard, toward the winery. That’s where you will find Heron’s Flight’s Tasting Room. Learn what goes into making the wine, and the experiences gained through 30-plus vintages of grape growing on this site. It’s an original and authentic Matakana Wine Experience. Enjoy our estate grown Italian wines and white wines from select providers. Build your own platter with a selections of meats, cheese, bread, crackers, and an assortment of accoutrements.
