VinAlto Winery

I would recommend people to visit VinAlto. What a feast, good wines and a story behind every wine. One of the better wine tasting places in NZ

Fantastic wine (the straight Montepulciano in particular is devine) at much better prices than Waiheke or Kumeu vineyards.

If you can make it to one of the Sunday tasting lunches (hosted erratically) then it's a great degustation experience with matches explained by the vinter himself. Thoroughly recommended

A good outdoor dining/seating area and loads of space in the restaurant. The place is rural and is in a vineyard setting, and the views are breathtaking, however the parking is very limited.
My dining experience was not pleasant, at all. I actually didnt even get to ordering our meals because the service from who seemed to be the owner, was absolutely appalling. He was rude, very blunt, and didnt actually listen to what we ordered, and brought us something else instead, and expected us to pay for it. I wont be back here if this type of service continues.

We had a 50th birthday degustation, simply devine, and food selection of food and other drinks, great.

Great venue for events! Amazing facilities and plenty of delicious food. Much cheaper than some other wineries and equally delicious, wine fantastic quality also!
