WHO WE ARE
At Nanny Goat Vineyard, we’re passionate about showcasing exceptional Central Otago wine with genuine, down-to-earth hospitality. Based at our beautiful Cellar Door in Queensberry, you’ll join a small, passionate team who love what they do, have fun doing it and aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves.
If you know how to make people feel welcome and have a genuine love of wine, we'd love to have you join the herd.
