Other Vineyards
The grape industry in Kerikeri has taken off , in Puketotara road alone there are now 5 small Vineyards within 300 meters of the Fat Pig these are appointment only Vineyards mainly growing single varities grapes.
Rumour has it that there might be a name change to the "New Barrossa Valley road".
Across the road we have MorePork Vineyard which grow only Pinot Gris it got's it name due to that they have 2 pigs so they have more pork than us.
Behind MorePork is the Bent Duck Vineyard which grows Chardonnay so named as the vineyard goes around a stream with a bend in it & there are ducks in it, however that might have something to do with the owners also.
Further down the road we have the Hairy dog growing Syrah and making Ros'e also, and yes they have a hairy dog.Chinook estate next to us grows contract Syrah grapes for other winery's and have just ordered sav blanc vines for more plantings.
Further down State High way going south we have Ake Ake & Marsden Estate who both serve fabulous wine & food and Cottle Hill is the last one as you leave Kerikeri. With a further 3 more Vineyards coming on line on Statehighway 10 in Kerikeri in 2010 you can really make a hog of yourself for the day.
Looking for some were to stay a night or two, just across the road is the
