An early arrival on the Waiheke wine scene, Te Motu has been producing wine on the island since its first vintage in 1993. To settle into this storied vineyard is to sip a slice of New Zealand viticultural history. The onsite restaurant The Shed serves food designed to settle you into the vine-dappled landscape. Expect classic bistro-style dishes using key Aotearoa ingredients, including raw fish with kawakawa, Pekepeke Kiore with sauce au poivre, and raviolo with confit duck, red wine jus, and egg yolk. For the perfect pairing, opt for one of the vineyard’s award-winning red wines, made exclusively using the best grapes from each vintage, and aged for extended periods.
