Peter Yealands, Founder of Yealands Wine Group, was delighted to receive this recognition for the Seaview winery, which offers complimentary wine tastings, a self-guided vineyard tour complete with downloadable Yealands Estate White Road Tour app, and audio-visual and interactive displays all about sustainable wine production.

“It’s fantastic to be recognised by the people who visit our winery, to know that they really get something out of the experience,” said Yealands. “We’re very proud of our Seaview winery, which has been CarboNZerocertTM since inception. We are continually working towards our goal to become a global leader in sustainable wine production and we want to share that vision in a fun and interactive way. Next time you are passing please come our way again, the experience will be even better as we are not sitting still so there will be plenty more to see!”
