BOOK TABLE

EAT & DRINK

Try our boutique wines and locally crafted brews along side gourmet yet casual sharing style food. 

WHATS ON

Check out our off the beaten track oasis. 

GALLERY

Local meets destination at our Lawn Bar. Grab a table, picnic blanket or a spot on the grass and take in the scenic views of the 80 acre vineyard and the rolling hills of Waimauku. It's impossible  not to feel relaxed in this stunning rural setting. 

​

We recommend booking if you need to secure a table under cover or if you're booking in peak season. Otherwise, feel free to rock up and grab a spot on the Lawn. Walk ins always welcome and we always have spare picnic blankets on hand if no tables are available straight away or feel free to bring your own blanket to be safe.

SIT BACK & RELAX

If you’d like a guided tasting, bookings are required in advance so we can make sure our team is ready for you on the day. Prefer something more casual? Tasting paddles are available anytime during opening hours — no booking needed.

FAMILY & PET FRIENDLY

The Lawn Bar is made for relaxed afternoons with the whole family. We like to keep it casual and easy — the kind of place where everyone can settle in and stay a while. Our wide-open lawns give kids plenty of room to play, but as we are a working winery, children must remain under adult supervision at all times.

 

Dogs are also very welcome, and we love seeing them enjoy the countryside. Please keep your pup on a lead and remember to clean up after them. In summer, shade on the lawn is limited, so take extra care on hot days to keep them cool and comfortable.
