The Waiata Vineyard in North Canterbury is where the producers first started growing grapes, where the thought of making wine was born and where dreams came true. This is their heart and very precious to them. The name Waiata comes from the Maori word for singing and is at the heart of any celebration or gathering. As such, these wines are made to be enjoyed when you come together to celebrate with fine food, wine and song, with family, friends and loved ones.
