In the bar, it’s the classics, perfectly executed. A wine lovers' haven, almost a theatre-like experience where staff serve classic cocktails alongside an extensive list of benchmark wines of the world by the glass with one of the country's most extensive bottle lists.

To match - think of it as a ‘by the glass food offering’, think of generously cut, hearty terrine with lashings of mustard, Steak tartare made at your table or seat, bread, gildas and the College Hill Cheese Service, fresh oysters, bites and snacks to accompany your journey through the wine list.

Partner and executive chef, Ryan Moore crafted the bar menu to complement the flavour profiles that highlight the fun of wine and food matching, salt, acid, fat, sugar, and bitters create a menu framework that the bar service team can guide guests on wines to match on a playful journey.

It’s a space for all seasons and reasons, from casual catch-ups, fireside chats, and corporate celebrations to intimate family dinners, elegant branded events, and, of course, our legendary wine dinners.

The menu reflects our love of European flavours, traditions, and contemporary techniques that hero New Zealand’s best produce.

The menu, like the space, suits any occasion—from oysters and snacks to shared mains of premium BBQ-fired meats and seafood. There is even a caviar and champagne service if the mood takes you.

Book the exclusive area for two to twenty people, choose from one of three wine and food-matching Masterclass menus or create your own.

Celebrate in a section or activate the entire Wine Room space, from transforming the Wine Bar into an oyster station and the Private Dining Room table to a family-style food service area as 75-100 people enjoy the space for canapé standing events, or book our 20 person private dining room.

Some of the enquiries to date include branded events, family celebrations, celebrity chef book launches, corporate workshops, and festive season celebrations.
