About The Hunting Lodge Winery

Just 35 minutes from Auckland CBD, this 80-acre estate is a full wine experience with a cellar door, lawn bar, and restaurant showcasing boutique wines like Albarino and Lagrein alongside their classic range. The seasonal menu is fed by their on-site vege garden with over 130 varieties, and you can play in the family zone, get cozy in the vineyards, or grab a beer from Liberty Brewing Co in the undercover lawn bar. Open seven days from 11am, it's got roaming gardens, event spaces, and the whole winery-to-bottle operation right there.
