Villa Maria Estates, Wine estate in Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand
Villa Maria Estates maintains vineyards across multiple regions of New Zealand, including Marlborough, Hawke's Bay, Gisborne, and Auckland, producing different wine varieties.
George Fistonich established Villa Maria in 1961 by leasing land from his parents in Mangere, Auckland, leading to its growth into a major wine producer.
The estate incorporates traditional New Zealand winemaking methods while utilizing modern technologies to create wines that represent each region's characteristics.
The winery offers guided tours and tastings at their facility located at 118 Montgomerie Road in Manukau, providing direct access to their wine collection.
Villa Maria became one of the first New Zealand wineries to transition completely from cork to screw cap closures, setting a new industry standard.
