Vineyard Supervisor

ABOUT US 

Home to the iconic brand Villa Maria, our vision is to be one of the world’s great wine companies, sharing the best of New Zealand wine with the world.
Our grapes come from over 6,000 hectares of planted vineyards and blended in our wineries across three of the renowned wine regions - Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay, and Gisborne - and our wines are exported globally. From grape to glass, we’ve been pioneers of wine industry practices since 2003 - we’re passionate about wine and we love what we do!
From our wine supply business to our branded wines - we are proud of our incredible footprint in the industry.
