Gravity Cellars

Overlooking the vineyards with sweeping views towards Tasman Bay, Gravity Cellars is one of those winery restaurants that invites you to slow down and settle in for a long lunch. Chef Ben Knight has created a seasonal sharing menu that celebrates the best of Nelson’s produce while drawing inspiration from flavours around the world. Dishes arrive as they're ready, creating an easy, relaxed style of dining that's perfect for sharing with friends and family. The menu is fresh, vibrant and full of flavour with highlights such as Korean fried chicken with kimchi aioli, fermented chilli glaze, pickled daikon and sesame, followed by a white chocolate cheesecake with sour cherries, pistachio gelato and meringue for dessert. Every dish is designed to pair effortlessly with the estate’s wines, making the experience feel complete from start to finish. With vineyards established on the rolling hills since 1998, the gravity-fed winery produces wines that reflect the region’s exceptional growing conditions. The thoughtfully curated wine list showcases labels from across the family of wineries, representing some of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine regions. Whether you're sharing a meal, celebrating with family or simply enjoying a bottle of pinot in the afternoon sun, it's the kind of place you'll want to linger a little longer.
