Awaroa Organic Winery
Awaroa Organic Winery
Tucked away on Waiheke Island, Awaroa Organic Winery offers a boutique, hands-on experience for lovers of natural wine. As a truly organic vineyard,
At the heart of Awaroa’s vineyard is the philosophy of “grow the wine in the vineyard, not in the tank.” Located at 324 Waiheke Road, the estate welcomes visitors to its peaceful garden-setting tasting room, where you’ll taste estate-grown varietals, explore their story, and linger over a platter in the relaxed island environment. The vines thrive in rich clay soils and a temperate climate likened to Bordeaux, enabling the winemakers to focus on low yields, concentrated flavour and sustainable land stewardship.
The location is ideal for a stop on your Waiheke wine tour: just minutes from Onetangi Beach, Awaroa offers a more personal, intimate experience compared with larger commercial vineyards. While open only Saturday and Sunday 11 am–4 pm, advance bookings for tastings are encouraged and groups can enquire for private sessions.
Whether you’re an organic-wine enthusiast or simply seeking a quieter cellar-door experience, Awaroa delivers with passion, authenticity and a strong connection to this special island terroir.
