About Tantalus Estate
This award-winning Waiheke Island estate splits its 20 acres between vineyards, olive groves, and a craft brewery, with winemaker Alex Perez crafting elegant, European-inspired wines using traditional techniques and indigenous yeasts. Think refined Pinot Gris, Rosé, and Merlot blends that taste like Northern Rhône and Bordeaux had a very sophisticated baby. Book ahead for tastings Wednesday to Sunday, and you can pair wines with their onsite craft brews if you're feeling adventurous.
