Marlborough Wine Tasting & Cellar Door
Wine Tasting at Jackson Estate
Welcome to Jackson Estate Tasting Room, a relaxed and authentic Marlborough wine tasting experience set amongst our vines, just minutes from Blenheim and a stone’s throw from Blenheim Airport.
Our tastings are unhurried, personal and grounded in the stories of our vineyards. This is Marlborough wine as we know it - shaped by site, season and time.
Set amongst the vines, and built as one of Marlborough’s most distinctive cellar doors - it’s an easy tasting to fit in, and a memorable one to take with you.
Bookings are required to ensure we can offer you the best experience. Use the button below to secure your preferred time. Planning something special or travelling as a group? Get in touch with the team about our private cave tasting for a more intimate and immersive visit.
The Story Behind Our Tasting Room
Our tasting room in Blenheim sits alongside our working winery and Homestead Vineyard, offering a direct connection to how our wines are grown and made. The rustic façade, crafted from reclaimed materials, opens into a warm contemporary tasting room - an inviting space that feels quietly removed, yet conveniently close to everything Marlborough has to offer.
Designed by Brian Massey (art director of The Hobbit trilogy), the winery and tasting room were imagined as a meeting point between old and new. The design nods to the region’s early settler hut structures, while reflecting the Jackson Estate ethos of modern pioneers - the new and the old colliding to create one of Marlborough’s most distinctive tasting rooms.
It’s a space built to be welcoming - somewhere you can taste, relax, and take in the atmosphere as well as the wine.
