IT’S OFFICIAL
A BUMPER 2025 HARVEST

The winery confirmed we delivered over 21 tons! Wow!
We look forward to another classic River Haven vintage.

 
Thank you to all supporters of magical River Haven.

Goodbye Birds – Hello Pickers!

The countdown to the 2025 grape harvest has started – don’t miss the chance to be part of this unique Ngatimoti community event.

In preparation, the vineyard has taken on a new look as our vines now sit beneath delicate netting, shimmering in the sunlight, transforming the vineyard into something almost magical.

This is the time of year we pull out all the stops—or rather, the nets! While it may look like a giant cover-up, it’s the final phase of protecting our grapes as they reach their peak. In just a few weeks, those nets will come off, and the vineyard will shift from a scene of quiet anticipation to the energy and excitement of harvest time.

So, the River Haven team now await the big decision – when to get the nets off and start picking?

The answer now lies with the weather gods, but it’s looking like our 2025 Harvest Event will be either on the weekend of March 29/30 or April 5/6.

And that’s where you come in!

Make sure Bert has your contact details (021 323 927), keep an eye out for the moment the fruit is ready, and join the happy pickers at River Haven – where as ever we’re – Positively Together.

Share the love

Wow, what an incredible weekend we’ve had at River Haven. We set ourselves a target of harvesting the entire vineyard in a single day, but we failed and thankfully didn’t fail-Wot??
