Two Paddocks[edit | edit source]
Two Paddocks is a boutique wine company located in Central Otago, New Zealand. It was established in 1993 by actor Sam Neill, who is best known for his roles in films such as Jurassic Park and The Piano. The name "Two Paddocks" refers to the two original vineyards owned by the company.

A few years later, he acquired a second vineyard in Alexandra, which he named "Alex Paddock". These two vineyards became the foundation of Two Paddocks.
