VILLA MARIA ESTATES
Villa Maria Estate is one of New Zealand’s wine companies. Their vineyards are located throughout New Zealand, with production bases in Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, Marlborough and Auckland.
Sir George Fistonich KNZM founded the company in 1961, upon leasing a 5-hectare (12-acre) plot of land on Kirkbride Road in Mangere, Auckland from his parents. The company relocated to a larger site on Montgomerie Road in the same suburb, and has since expanded, but remains a family-owned and operated business.
