Set in the Princes Wharf site that once housed Euro, Somm Cellar Door not only affords its guests incredible, waterfront views but is also home to what is perhaps the City’s most impressive collection of wine, which, when coupled with consistently tasty food and a laid-back vibe, makes it the perfect place to spend a relaxed Sunday afternoon.
Somm’s Sunday pizza offering is a delicious way to round out the week with friends or family. Every Sunday, the cellar door is serving its moreish pizzas in a two-for-one deal, making a relaxed afternoon here all the more appealing. And if you haven’t had the privilege of trying them yet, Somm’s mouthwatering pizzas are made with 72-hour poolish dough (a technique that delivers a lighter and more airy texture and a soft but structured crust) and boast toppings that include a simple pomodoro with garlic, fior di latte and basil, an indulgent raclette option, finished with ‘nduja, honey and rosemary, one with flavoursome palermo peppers, eggplant and mozzarella, and a mortadella option with zuni pickle.

Making this prospect even more tempting is Somm’s daily ‘Somm Sundowns’ happy hour, where guests can enjoy $7 drinks from 3pm until 5pm. With a line-up of libations that includes Little Creatures Catalina Lager, Grove Mill Pinot Noir, Russian Jack Pinot Gris, Dashwood Rosé and the signature Somm Spritz (among others) this is one sundowner you don’t want to miss.
In addition to a fantastic happy hour, those who are partial to an exceptional local drop will find glass pours of the esteemed 2016 Mt Difficulty Target Gully Single Vineyard Pinot Noir — exclusive to Somm. You can savour this cellar pour for a limited-time price of $20 per glass, and $100 per bottle.
So, whether you’re seeking laid-back drinks with a view, a delicious bite between friends, a unique tasting experience, or somewhere to simply sit back and take in the true beauty of Auckland’s waterfront, Somm Cellar Door is exactly where you should be heading this weekend.
