Small in scale but ambitious in approach, Graze is the Kelburn wine bar from Max Gordy and Stina Persen built around local sourcing, low-waste cooking and a genuine connection to place. Its blackboard menu changes constantly according to what is available, centring sustainably sourced seafood, New Zealand-grown produce and ingredients foraged nearby. Much of the restaurant itself follows the same philosophy, from reclaimed timber to second-hand tableware, while the drinks list champions New Zealand wine and spirits exclusively. The result feels relaxed and neighbourhood-minded, but the thinking behind every plate is anything but casual.

Graze Wine Bar
“Thoughtful neighbourhood dining with sustainability at its core.”
