Caythorpe is a fifth-generation, 100% family-owned farm, orchard and winery located in the heart of the Marlborough winegrowing region. We are a full working farm with sheep, cattle, haymaking and orchard (cherries) that complements our winegrowing interests.

The property was settled in 1880 by immigrant David Bishell and named after his home village "Caythorpe" in England. 145 years later, Caythorpe is a diverse farming business worked by David's direct descendants Scott and Simon Bishell. We love farming, working the land as a family and growing premium food crops. We are also champions of sustainability and integrating technology into our farming practices.

Caythorpe Family Estate was launched in 2015 as a platform to market wines that have been wholly grown on the farm. Our wines are estate grown, single vineyard examples of quintessential Marlborough varietals. We don't have multiple brands or quality tiers - we simply concentrate on making the best wines under our single label of Caythorpe Family Estate
