Wineries & Vineyards in Mangawhai

The wineries and vineyards close enough to count as part of the Mangawhai scene sit between the village and the southern Kaipara, with a handful of cellar doors open on weekends and by appointment. Northland’s wine country isn’t the size of Marlborough or Hawke’s Bay, but the small-batch producers around Mangawhai, Mangawhai Heads and Kaiwaka do interesting work in syrah, chambourcin and aromatic whites. The list below covers tasting rooms, restaurant-attached vineyards and grower-only operations who sell direct. Booking ahead matters in summer — most cellar doors are run by a small team.
