Domaine Thomson

Domaine Thomson is our most luxurious Central Otago vineyard location.

This venue offers magnificent views over vine covered rolling hills, all the way down to Lake Dunstan and beyond.

AMBIENCE

Domaine Thomson brings a little of France to Central Otago.

Your ceremony space - a lawn nestled in their French style country garden, a permanent arch framing the magnificent view.

With the option of holding your ceremony in their beautifully appointed cellar door should you choose (or weather make a necessity).

Your reception will be held in the larger of the rooms inside Domaine Thomson's Cellar Door. Large round tables beautifully dressed to allow for the conversation to flow all evening. The walls a mix of Surveyor Thomson's - the surveyor and artist Domaine Thomson is named for - art, and big picture windows, framing the phenomonal view right up until the sun goes down.

This package includes exclusive use of the venue for the whole day
