About Nga Waka
This Martinborough stalwart has been crafting elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for over 30 years, and they just opened a stunning architecturally-awarded cellar door in 2022 that's perched right on their original vineyard with killer hill views. Their sustainably-managed 24-hectare vineyard also produces small amounts of Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling, so there's something for everyone. Stop by for a guided tasting or just grab a glass and soak in the scenery.
