Join us for this exclusive tasting and meet the legend - Tim Turvey - Founder & Winemaker at Clearview Estate. Tim is a ‘character’ full of passion and tales and he is sure to delight you with his stories behind the wines at Clearview.

Tim Turvey purchased 20 ha of land at Te Awanga on the Hawkes Bay coast in 1986 for $76,000 and set about establishing a vineyard, winery and restaurant along with partner Helma van den Berg. Tim started with plenty of enthusiasm and a good kiwi number 8 wire, do it yourself approach, including teaching himself winemaking.

Situated in Te Awanga, on the Cape Kidnappers coastline of Hawke's Bay, the Estate enjoys a unique microclimate, an extended growing season and refreshing sea breezes. An unwavering focus on quality produces wines of great fruit intensity, with a strong commitment to sustainability in all aspects of the business.

After more hard graft, the Tim and his wife Helma opened Clearview Estate Winery and Restaurant in 1991. The restaurant was one of the first in New Zealand to offer alfresco vineyard dining and the winery's first release of Reserve Chardonnay took the trophy for the top wine at the Royal Easter Show. Today, Clearview employs 20-50 people, exports to 10 countries, and produces 200,000 bottles of award-winning wine a year.

A selection of canapés will be matched with the wines by the team at Aikman's.
