The Best Wine Hotels in Nelson

Retiro Park Lodge

Separated from Marlborough by a mountain range, the tiny region of Nelson sits at the northern tip of South Island and is fringed by Tasman Bay. Further mountain ranges on the other sides make it a distinct, self-contained area with its own particular micro-climate. This means it’s well-suited to growing aromatic grapes such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. For this reason it's also a popular spot for visitors to come on a wine break. Some of the best wine hotels in Nelson are themselves boutique vineyards, however, there are also a good selection of other hotels ranging from charming B&Bs to all-out luxury stays. Our hotel experts have compiled a collection of their favoutie hotels in the area chosen on their design, amenities, service, and options for wine tasting. Whether you are booking a couples' escape or a break with friends, there is something to suit most trips. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next getaway?
