The People, the Land and the Passion Behind Waipara Springs
Since 1989, Waipara Springs has been shaped by family and rooted in the land. Every wine we make carries that connection, crafted with care to be shared and enjoyed together.
The People Behind Waipara Springs
Andrew and Katie carry forward the legacy of Waipara Springs with a spirit that is both welcoming and full of care. For them, the vineyard is not just a business but a part of their family's story, one they love to share with every guest. When you sit down for a meal or taste a wine, you are experiencing the passion they have poured into the land, the vines, and the people they welcome through their doors. At heart, they see themselves as farmers, grateful for the chance to share what they grow with you.
The Milestones That Shaped Our Story
Every milestone at Waipara Springs holds a memory worth sharing.
We celebrated our first vintage, not knowing it would be the start of a legacy that would carry through three generations.
The vineyard opened its doors wider with a restaurant, turning Waipara Springs into a place where meals, wine and laughter could be shared.
The old shearing shed was given new life, reminding us that the past has a way of shaping the present when you choose to honour it.
A new generation stepped forward, carrying the same passion with fresh vision.
The years ahead are about keeping wine approachable, experiences memorable, and this place one people feel a part of.
Celebrating the Heritage of Waipara Springs
Every bottle tells a chapter of our journey, from the first vines to the shared tables of today.
