Winery Video Production Masterton

In Masterton and the Wairarapa

Martinborough in the Wairarapa is known for pinot noir, with many vineyards close enough to the village to walk or cycle between. Much of its cellar door trade comes over the Remutaka Hill from Wellington.

Masterton is the main town of the Wairarapa, over the Remutaka Hill from Wellington, close to the Martinborough wine country and the open coast at Castlepoint.

Billie travels to Masterton for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.

Services in Masterton and the Wairarapa

What it’s for

A winery sells a place as much as a bottle, so its content leans on the land, the season and the people who make the wine.

Cellar doors need imagery for bookings and tastings, trade and export buyers want a clear story about the site and the winemaking, and weddings and events at the vineyard need their own promotion. The vintage, the vines through the seasons and the winemaker at work give a year of material that only comes round once a year.

What gets made

Vineyard and harvest films
Winemaker profile and brand story
Cellar door and tasting room imagery
Bottle and label photography
Trade and export presentation video
Wedding and event venue promotion

On the shoot

Planning around the season

Harvest, pruning, bud burst and the vines in full leaf each happen at a set time of year, so a winery shoot is often planned as several visits across the season rather than one day.

Light across the rows

Vineyards look best in low morning and evening light, so outdoor work is scheduled around sunrise and the last hours of the day, with the winery and cellar door filmed in the middle of the day.

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a cellar door that needs a regular flow of short-form content and a few finished pieces. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a winery covering harvest, releases, a restaurant or events across the year, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a larger wine brand with trade and export audiences. A single brand film is quoted as Bespoke Production, and weddings or launches at the vineyard can be produced by Billie Private, quoted per project.

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry.

Does Billie work in Masterton?

Billie travels to Masterton for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.

When is the best time of year to film a vineyard?

It depends on the story. Harvest gives the most activity, summer gives full canopy and long evenings, and winter pruning gives a stark, graphic look. Many wineries spread sessions across the year to cover all of it.
