The winery is celebrating New Zealand’s Storytelling Legacy Through Wine.
As the exclusive wine sponsor, Soljans Estate Winery brings its family heritage and decades of experience to support local film and television talent.
Soljans Estate Winery, a 90-year-old family-owned winery, is proud to announce its role as the exclusive wine sponsor for the New Zealand Screen Awards (NZSA). This partnership marks a unique moment in the winery’s legacy, bringing together two of New Zealand’s greatest exports - wine and the art of storytelling.
For generations, Soljans Estate Winery has been crafting wines that bring people together to celebrate life’s memorable moments. As part of this sponsorship, the winery will feature its renowned Legacy Méthode Traditionelle alongside their other wines at the prestigious awards ceremony. The winery will also be the naming rights sponsor of the “Best Entertainment Programme” award, reinforcing its commitment to local creativity and excellence.
“Wine, like storytelling, is all about creating connections and memories. Our family has
spent 90 years crafting wines for life’s important moments - big and small - and we’re so proud to bring that spirit to an event that celebrates the creativity and passion of New Zealand’s film and television industry,” said Amber Soljan, Brand Lead & 5th Generation at Soljans Estate Winery.
Justine McKay and Andy Dowding from Janda Productions, the team behind the New
Zealand Screen Awards, added: "We are absolutely delighted to welcome Soljans Estate Winery, an outstanding family-owned business, to the New Zealand Screen Awards sponsor whānau. Their commitment to excellence shines through in every bottle, and we can't wait to experience their exceptional range of wines firsthand!"
Soljans is no stranger to the hustle and bustle of the New Zealand film landscape, with its grounds featured in iconic New Zealand productions like Heart Eyes, My Life is Murder, The Brokenwood Mysteries, and historically Shortland Street. This deep-rooted connection makes the partnership with the NZ Screen Awards a natural extension of Soljans’ commitment to supporting local storytelling and creative excellence.
