Rob Cameron a qualified viticulturist and accomplished winemaker with previous vintages across Europe and New Zealand and Tim Lightbourne's experience in global brand management have formed the partnership that is Invivo.

After extensive planning in London and upon returning to New Zealand, Rob and Tim began working with the leading grapegrowers in Marlborough and Central Otago to launch their limited release quality wines. The Invivo vision is to produce the best of New Zealand wine, from New Zealand's premium wine-growing regions and bring this to the world in an innovative and contemporary approach.

Invivo was voted by the judges at the 2009 International Wine and Spirits Competition trophy finalist for New Zealand Wine Producer of the Year.

At the 2009 Hospitality New Zealand Show, Invivo Wines was awarded the New Zealand Innovation in Wine Marketing Trophy. The judges comments about Invivo  "Strong, linear, clear, and powerful as well as eye catching, it would translate well globally and stand out amongst the crowd. Every aspect was executed with outstanding application"
