Ataahua Wines. Characterful small-batch
wines from the Waipara Valley.

Discovering a new label and introducing it to your friends is one of the joys of wine. And you might say that Ataahua is a wine a lot more people should know about. But the reason we’re a little under the radar is that we’ve always concentrated on hand-making delicious wines rather than promoting them. However gradually we’ve built up a quiet following of people who enjoy wine with distinctive character, made to go perfectly with their favourite foods. If that sounds like you, then welcome to Ataahua of the Waipara Valley, North Canterbury, New Zealand.
Where to find Ataahua wines

Something else that keeps us less well known is that we only like our wines being served where it’s truly appreciated. Made to be great with food you can enjoy Ataahua wines at restaurants that know their wines like Ghost Street and Cazador in Auckland, Apache in Wellington, Cellar Door in Christchurch and many more in the Canterbury region. The current listing is here.

But why wait until you go out? You can order from Ataahua’s cellar right now online.

Every now and then we also like to put in an appearance in person at certain events – please keep an eye on our socials to see where we’ll be next.
