The Doubtless Bay Wine Company is an exploration: personal, geographical and, of course, viticultural. We operate a small but very much experimental vineyard property near the foot of the Karikari Peninsula on Doubtless Bay in the Northland Region of New Zealand.

The Doubtless Bay Wine Company acquired an existing vineyard established in 1995, and in 1998 expanded it with new varieties and clones. Over time it is intended to refine the selection of varieties and rootstocks, and, but only if justified, to consider expanding production.

Recent years have produced many tests, and hopefully as many lessons learned.

In 2001 the first wine was bottled under the Doubtless label.

In the tradition of the great explorers of the past with close connections to Doubtless Bay, including the eminent botanist and explorer Sir Joseph Banks from whom the Doubtless logo is derived, our hope is to observe and to learn what our environment is most naturally suited to produce, and to then try and achieve the best that we can from in.
