A special invitation to join a very select group of Obsidian Vineyard enthusiasts! Become a member of the Friends of Obsidian Wine Club or, if you are a real devotee, sign up as an “Obsidianado” *

This invitation is our way of offering you the convenience of sampling our exclusive, limited-release wines in the comfort of your own home.

* “Obsidianado” is how we describe someone who fervently appreciates and pursues Obsidian’s wines. It’s a play on the Spanish word ‘aficionado’ meaning a person who is a dedicated fan of a specific interest or activity.

Trophy Trail Walk
Join us to explore the new Trophy Trail in the heart of the Onetangi Valley!
Walk with fellow “Obsidianados” & view the peaceful little hidden valley where grapes & olive trees  share a peaceful quiet space. We will begin as we mean to go on, with a taste of two wines at the Hay Paddock cellar door and conclude the day with a tasting of Obsidian and Weeping Sands wines accompanied by a delicious menu of grilled treats prepared by foodie wine club member Gill Osborne. Along the walk we will deviate with a loop away from the trail to take in some views of the established Te Motu & Stonyridge Vineyards. Obsidian's director Lindsay Spilman will provide a commentary on the vineyards & wines of the valley. Towards the end of the stroll we will stop at the new Obsidian "Syrah Terraces" to observe the French style high density planting at the crest of "Block One". Enjoy a taste of syrah and dream of things to come as we gaze out from this beautiful vantage point.

Date: Sun 5 Feb
Time: 2:00pm - 5:30pm
Cost: $25 – Includes wine tastings, drinks and nibbles (at the end of the walk at Obsidian)
