The Boneline

The Boneline is a family business who started planting in 1989, continuing to craft wine exclusively from this original vineyard, in their own winery. They were one of the early Waipara vineyard pioneers, recognising the areas potential as a premium wine region.

Boneline's location was selected on the basis of meeting rigorous selection criteria: frost-free micro climate, north-facing and north of the Ashley River, with a limestone and gravel base. Grape varieties have been matched to the sites across four unique levels of terraces to maximise grape potential.

Boneline's Cellar Door offers seated tastings, a sharing-style snacks menu, a library wine selection (previous vintages), and a wine store. They also host weddings and events.

On weekends a Vineyard walkway is open for cellar door guests to walk the property and learn about the various blocks (there are 22 signs along the way).

Boneline has Biogro-certified organic vineyards and are members of NZ Winegrower's Sustainable Vineyards/Wineries programme.

Vino Fino's selection of wines is second to none. The staff are always extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I select wines online, then pay when picking up.

Excellent wine store! Probably the best in town. You can find wall kinds of wine and from around the world. I even found a wine from my hometown Uruguay which is not easy to find at all on this side of the globe.

Thank you Vino Fino Team, Thank you so much for your help with the drinks for our wedding day! We couldn’t have been happier with the service from Vino Fino supplying us with a Chiller Trailer to use on the day! You made getting the wine for our wedding easy and fun. It was low stress, and we truly appreciated being able to bring back the unopened wine. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family. We’re so grateful!

All the way in Christchurch, but occasionally order from this store as it has wines I like that I can't source elsewhere, at a great price too. Always great service, and will keep using them.

Whilst they don't have any serious competition they do stock some great wines and their specials often are just that!

I had been searching for a very specific wine and I finally found it here. Not only did they have the wine I was searching for, they had a beautiful collection of other wines. If you are a wine lover, be sure to check out Vino Fino. The staff were very knowledgeable on the types of wine and the wine makers. I will be coming back again for sure.

Possibly the best wine shop in New Zealand. I've been coming here for 11+ years. Excellent, interesting wines at a range of price points; friendly, personal and knowledgeable service. If the wall of Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris, Shiraz and Pinot Noir at the supermarket doesn't do it for you, you need to sign up for Vino Fino's email. They work hard to get sharp prices on very good wines.

Been a longtime customer here. Great range with reasonable prices. Free delivery over $150 if order online which is even better. Keep an eye on their deal and usually you can find some really great deals
