The Vineyard Restaurant

Since its original opening in 1993, Seifrieds Vineyard Restaurant and Function Centre has been a destination for locals and visitors alike looking for a chance to take a little time out and celebrate what the beautiful Nelson region has to offer.

Where fresh local cuisine is perfectly paired with wine grown and made on site, and the vineyard garden offers a place where even the younger family members will enjoy themselves in the children's playground.  The perfect location to spend time enjoying Nelson's long afternoons with a glass or two of your favourite Seifried wine - on the lawn or cosy up next to the open fireplace during the colder months.

Now, under the direction of German born owner/chef Horst Wellmeyer and Kiwi born, Justine Robertson, we were happy to announce the re-opening in Spring 2008. 

With an impressive resumé of time spent working and managing restaurants in London, Singapore, Korea, Jordan, Belgium, Germany, Auckland (for the America’s Cup) and Wellington, Horst has some exciting culinary skills to bring to the Seifried cuisine.  Combine this with Justine’s experience working in 5-star hotels in Johannesburg and Auckland, as well as plenty of time travelling, this is a team ready to impress.  Both have a passion for people and the hospitality industry, and we are honoured to have them join us.

With some dramatic aesthetic changes in the dining room and bathrooms, the focus continues to be on outstanding customer sevice, fabulous fresh food and an overall exceptional dining experience.

A place where cuisine is crafted to encompass the fresh, local products we have
right here in the region. 

Opening Hours: Lunch Thursday - Saturday.

Any other times by prior arrangement. 

Tour groups are very welcome, however we do require a reservation.

Be our guest.  Relax and unwind. Experience and enjoy.  Celebrate Nelson.

With plenty of free parking and less than 10 minutes drive from Richmond, the close proximity to town can be forgotten in the rural surroundings.
