Te Kano means “the seed” in the Māori language; a symbol of growth and new beginnings. As a 100% family-owned estate, we craft wines with integrity from vineyard to glass, showcased at our award-winning cellar door. Our story is rooted in four exceptional vineyard sites: three in Central Otago, including one on the iconic Felton Road, and one in the Waitaki Valley. These sites allow us to produce wines of remarkable character and depth.

At the heart of Te Kano is a commitment to create wines with quality, purity, and concentration and we have some of the most extensive Chardonnay and Pinot Noir plantings in the region. Guided by sustainable and organic practices, we strive to leave the land better than we found it; a legacy for generations to come.
