🍷🔥🍕 WE’RE BACK! 🍕🔥🍷

The Cellar Door crew are back on the tools, and so is Roving Pizza — refreshed, recharged and ready to pour, taste and serve you all the good stuff.

✨ New menu
✨ New signs
🍷 Same awesome vibes

Our back courtyard revamp is almost there! A huge thanks for your patience while we put the finishing touches in place. We can’t wait to welcome you into the new space, with more seating, more sunshine and even better views across the vines. 🌿☀️🍇

And with Father’s Day this Sunday, we reckon Dad deserves a pretty good day out…

Bring him in for a tasting, enjoy a glass of our award-winning Nga Waka wine, grab a cold beer and, of course, pair it all with some life-changing pizza. 🍕🍷

Look forward to seeing you ❤️

🍷 Celebrate International Pinot Noir Day! 🍷

This 18 August, we’re raising a glass to one of the world’s most captivating varieties — Pinot Noir — and to our very own 2024 Nga Waka Pinot Noir, recently awarded an outstanding 94 points by Cam Douglas.

Described as complex, ripe and pure-fruited, this elegant Martinborough Pinot Noir reveals layers of dark raspberry, black cherry, plum, clove, vanilla, violet and wild flowers.

Taut and dry, with vibrant acidity, tension and power, it finishes long and beautifully poised — with plenty of promise for the years ahead.

We’re incredibly proud of this vintage and the way it captures the unique character of Martinborough, Wairarapa — a place we’re proud to call home.

We’re thrilled to announce that our Nga Waka Pinot Noir 2024 has received **94/100 points** and an **Excellent** rating from Cameron Douglas MS. ⭐️

“A youthful wine with tension and power, ripe red berry fruits and a lengthy youthful finish. Best drinking from 2028–2036+.”

This recognition is a wonderful reflection of the character, quality, and promise of the 2024 vintage.

We look forward to seeing how this wine evolves over the years ahead 🍷

☀️ Sustainable winemaking powered by the sun! 🍇

We’re excited to share the successful installation of our new solar system by Hoskins Energy.

These solar panels now generate more than 80% of the power required for both our winery and cellar door, helping us reduce our environmental footprint while continuing to produce and share great wines.

A big thank you to the team at Hoskins Energy for their professionalism and expertise throughout the project.
