Local & Global Wines

Thats why were all here in the first place right!

There are 10 wine producing regions in New Zealand as one of them Wairarapa produces just 1% of New Zealand's wine, & yet it is world-famous for producing many of the country's best. Our region's winemakers produce exceptional wines from small parcels of land, resulting in some of the most sought-after wines in the world. Martinborough is the heart of Pinot Noir & our wine list provides the perfect balance of vineyards from local vinyards (especially those world famous Pinot Noirs) & a generous taste of France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Armenia the U.S. & more.

Our patio gets the last of the setting sun & is the perfect place to spend some time with an favourite vintage or try something new.

By the glass or the bottle we've got you.
