Anchorage Family Estate

History

Anchorage Wines founding family, the Drummond Family have been pioneers of the land since 1866. Our story begins with Alexander Drummond's courageous voyage from Scotland aboard "The Sir Allan McNab" to seek a better life in Nelson. 

 

Today, five generations later, the Drummond Family continues to cultivate the land, with vineyards nestled across the picturesque Riwaka, Motueka, and Moutere areas.
