They are complemented by a services annex housing essential facilities. Recently opened is The Barrel Room—a clandestine buried wine cave. The old heritage timber homestead is currently being transformed into Billy’s, a fine dining venue offering an opulent experience that pays homage to the farm’s storied history. The Bakehouse, a multifunctional space encompassing a café, deli, pizzeria, and venue area, is also currently under construction. Both are due to open 2024/25. Framed by the Southern Alps and set amidst manicured grounds and mature trees, with a natural waterfall-fed stream idling past outdoor dining tables, Ayrburn perfectly captures the essence of its breath-taking natural surroundings and serves as a gateway to unforgettable good times. “We wanted to create a destination where locals and visitors alike could spend the day with friends and family to simply enjoy being together over world-class food and wine,” says Chris Meehan, Winton CEO. “An incredible amount of time has gone into making sure Ayrburn will be a place for great times. It embodies our commitment to celebrating the stories of the past, by giving them a new future. From our wine tastings in The Manure Room where prohibition saw tipplers evade authorities, to the shining bronze statues of Ayrburn’s founding owner, William Paterson’s prized Clydesdale and ram Ayrburn is a testament to our dedication to crafting exceptional places. It’s not just a destination; it’s an invitation to experience the best of New Zealand’s food, wine, and hospitality, in a place chosen 160 years ago for being one of the country’s most naturally stunning locations.” At the heart of Ayrburn is a commitment to excellence and innovation, says Lauren. “Led by Executive Chef Richard Highnam and Master of Wine Sophie Parker-Thompson, Ayrburn’s culinary team showcases the best of New Zealand’s food and wine, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and artisanal craftsmanship,” she says. “Sophie worked alongside winemaker, Jody Pagey, to bring their expertise to Ayrburn’s award-winning wine range, served exclusively on the premises.” “Everyone has put so much passion into it and it’s nice to have a heritage project that has so much history be open to the public for the first time,” says Lauren. “As Ayrburn continues to evolve and expand its legacy as a pioneering agricultural estate and culinary destination is poised to grow even stronger. With a commitment to celebrating the stories of the past while embracing the opportunities of the future, Ayrburn invites guests to savour the essence of its natural beauty and proud history, one unforgettable experience at a time.” “An incredible amount of time has gone into making sure Ayrburn will be a place for great times.”
