John and Brigid Forrest
At the helm of the company are John and Brigid, both are completely passionate about wine, their children Reid, Beth and Sam and of course their staff, their extended family. When not marketing their wine around the globe they are 100% hands on in all elements of the business and ensure quality wine and service, while creating a fun environment for everyone to work in.

Winery
In the winery we have 3 full time staff, increasing over vintage with young international winemakers. This level of staff is essential due to the great range of wines we craft, it is not uncommon for us to produce over 20 different wines from one vintage. Assisting John, is a very special team headed by Dave Knappstein with Chris Andrew and Helen Morrison.

Viticulture
Arguably the most important part of the business for producing premium wine, John's right hand man Tim Alexander heads up this team assisted by Sue Warner and 7 full time staff. Most of whom have worked for the John and Brigid for 10 or more years. There is always something to do in the vines and the team manage our 80 hectares with great pride.

The offices of Forrest Wines are constantly busy with all elements of Wine Sales and Marketing globally, the team offers a high quality service to all customers ensuring Forrest Wines ends up in a wine lovers glass in a restaurant without any issues along the way. Dan Taylor looks after Sales and Marketing with Jodi Robbins and Charlotte Broms managing the office administration, accounts and logistics. Brigid oversees all aspects of the office.

Cellar Door
Our Cellar Door is a marvellous and beautiful place to visit and in 2008 was voted the 2nd best Cellar Door in Marlborough to visit by Wine Marlborough due to our excellent service and wine educated staff. Trevor Loomis manages Cellar Door and local sales with Jodi and Andrea Forrest assisting the daily running. John and Brigid can often be found on Cellar Door if you are lucky enough to catch them.

The Pets
Last but certainly not least are the animals that rule the roost, Patch the Dog and Merlot and Malbec the Cats. These three were joined this year for a few months by Snowflake the Lamb, who stole the show!
