An impromptu trek to a restaurant nestled high above the picturesque town of Queenstown in late 2004 was to inspire the name Nanny Goat Vineyard. Heading off to take in some breathtaking scenery, good food and of course some great Central Otago Pinot Noir, what was supposed to be a relaxing stroll quickly transformed into an arduous, unplanned deviation as the gentle terrain quickly transformed, leaving all concerned to navigate some rather perilous ground. A lighthearted comment likening the group to a herd of Nanny Goats struck a chord and would go on to become the inspiration behind the name.
