About Carrick
First planted in 1994, Carrick is a highly regarded producer of fine wine in Central Otago, crafting small production organically certified, estate-grown wines from its iconic 24 ha Bannockburn site. Twice awarded “Sustainable Vineyard of the Year” at the Organic Wine Awards, a detailed hands-on approach is taken in the vineyard to grow the highest quality fruit possible which allows for minimal intervention in the winery. Handpicked, wild-fermented, a true expression of time & place.
Thank you very much for the lovely review. We are very glad that you enjoyed your time here.

Wine Tour in Heart of Desert!
Fantastic wine tour in heart of desert (Bannockburn), Tony was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine history and wine making process. View from restaurant is stunning! It looks like Lake in a Desert. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
