Upcoming Events
Our Venue
The Domaine Thomson Cellar Door entertaining venue was completed in the Summer of 2020 and provides a luxurious and private atmosphere to meet – for a conference, meetings, weddings or family celebration and special occasions. Designed by architects Noel Lane and Tom Rowe, our Cellar Door sits on a natural platform above the vines with panoramic views across the vineyard to Lake Dunstan. Surrounded by mountain ranges, the image forms a classic Central Otago landscape.
The beautiful vistas over our vineyard and beyond to Lake Dunstan, combined with tasteful French-inspired décor, make our stunning Cellar Door facilities, the perfect location for you to host your bespoke wedding, dinner, event or conference. Our gorgeous venue is perfect for seated dining, celebratory canapes, weddings or business meetings and presentations – a unique space that elevates any gathering. Modern features and comforts combine with a rustic, personal and memorable feel that ensures you will have people talking long after the event is over.
