Enjoy a virtual tour of Como Villa here.
Como Villa was established during the "Dunstan gold rush"
era by miner and water race owner, Thomas Oliver. The
original stone house built in 1865 and an underground cellar
on the property, have been lovingly restored for a rustic
ambience and unique cellar door experience.
Visitors can enjoy quality wine while taking in an abundance
of artifacts and antiques found on the property, or sourced
locally to suit the context. Items include; a replica of the
ship The Dunedin (constructed on board the actual ship),
newspapers dating back to 1869, antique guns and mining
tools used during the gold rush era that Central Otago is
well known for.
