Indulge in the ultimate winter experience at Somm Wine Bar & Bistro

Who needs a jaunt to Europe when Somm Wine Bar & Bistro is pouring the finest reds this side of the equator? Tucked into Princes Wharf with front-row harbour views, this wine-savvy spot is the kind of place you plan to pop into for a glass — and somehow end up staying all evening. The cellar is a love letter to New Zealand’s best producers, and the team here know exactly how to steer you toward your new favourite Syrah or Pinot Noir.

Feeling adventurous? The newly-launched red wine flight is just the ticket. Feeling indulgent? Settle in with a host of delectable share plates and a bottle that demands your full attention. Equal parts laid-back and luxe, Somm makes mastering the art of wine feel like a walk in the vines.
