Te Motu Vineyard is a heritage-rich estate producing Bordeaux-style wines in a tranquil valley setting. With deep family roots in Waiheke winemaking, Te Motu is known for its expressive reds and rustic charm. Established in the early 1990s, it has become one of Waiheke’s most respected names in cellar-aged wine.

Services and Offerings
The vineyard offers guided tastings of wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. Wines are crafted with minimal intervention and often aged for extended periods before release. Guests may also explore back vintages rarely available elsewhere.

Restaurant Style
