Mamaku Blue : A Brief History

40 hectare farm and plantation starts development into one of the country's leading Growers, Product Developers, Exporters and now blue berry wine makers.
Cyclone Bola struck, and the devastation gave the opportunity to develop Blueberry Wine, Liqueur and Juice. The first brews were small scale.
Mamaku Blue Winery branding developed unique products from plantation to Retail. Products from the plantation now include berries, sweet and dry wines, liqueurs, juice, jam and chutneys.
The building of the reception centre and shop, café, banquet room and museum. Daily tours are attracting great interest and so it is this side of the business where the next phase of growth is anticipated. Starting with morning tea, a guided tour through the plantation, followed by a browse through the museum and finishing with Lunch or a blueberry muffin, blueberry juice or wine in the café, visitors to the site can now have the whole blueberry experience.
Complex was officially opened by the Prime Minister as a Blueberry Experience, winery, and tourist attraction. The opening brings together the three different aspects of the business and launches it into the new millennium, bringing an air of positivity into the local business community.
