ABOUT FRENCH PEAK

French Peak Vineyard planted its first vines in 1989, making it the oldest on the Peninsula. It's nestled in an extinct volcano and is a one-of-a-kind destination for wine enthusiasts. Sitting at an altitude of 80m, the vineyard enjoys cool maritime breezes and a long, sunny growing season, only 700m from the crystalline waters of the sea. French Farm has a history dating back centuries and French Peak is where tradition and innovation unite to produce exceptional wines.

Their passion for creating exceptional wines is evident in every bottle of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Rose that they offer. Due to limited production, each vintage is highly sought after, with award-winning wines selling out almost every year. Whether you are a connoisseur or simply enjoy a glass of fine wine, French Peak offers a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.
