About Us Goldie Estate, Waiheke Island’s oldest vineyard, was established by pioneering winemakers Kim and Jeanette Goldwater in the 1970s. The estate combines a legacy of craftsmanship with stunning coastal views, offering visitors a unique blend of history and hospitality.

In 2011, Kim and Jeanette Goldwater, gifted their 14-hectare Goldie Vineyard to the University of Auckland. This generous donation led to the establishment of the University’s Wine Science Centre at the estate, providing students with a unique opportunity to study and work in a functioning boutique winery. The historic homestead on the property offers accommodation for Wine Science students, immersing them in a realistic winery environment. This collaboration allows students to gain hands-on experience in viticulture and winemaking, bridging academic studies with practical industry skills.

Wine Varietals Goldie Estate produces a range of celebrated wines, including Syrah, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Their flagship wine, the Goldie Syrah, is noted for its bold flavors and smooth finish.

Wine Tasting and Cellar Door The estate’s cellar door offers a welcoming atmosphere where guests can sample a range of wines guided by knowledgeable staff. Visitors can also enjoy guided tastings and vineyard tours. The on-site café serves platters paired with wines from their collection, making it a perfect spot for lunch with a view.

Location and Getting There Located at 18 Causeway Road, Waiheke Island, Goldie Estate is easily accessible by car or bus from Matiatia Wharf or Onetangi. There is a bus stop directly outside.
