Wild Estate & Wild On Waiheke

Nestled in the heart of Waiheke Island’s wine country, Wild Estate is more than just a vineyard — it’s a destination. With award-winning wines, an onsite craft brewery, a family-friendly restaurant, and a full adventure playground for both kids and grown-ups, Wild Estate blends the very best of Waiheke’s food, drink, and lifestyle into one relaxed, lively location.

At its core, Wild Estate is a boutique vineyard and winery, producing a range of elegant Waiheke wines. Their rosé and syrah are especially popular, best enjoyed on the sunny lawn with vineyard views and a sharing platter. But what sets Wild Estate apart is its onsite brewery — Wild on Waiheke. Here, they craft small-batch beers and ciders using fresh ingredients and island rainwater, giving guests the rare opportunity to enjoy both wine and beer tasting in one place.

The restaurant offers a seasonal menu that celebrates local ingredients and relaxed, hearty fare. Wood-fired pizzas, burgers, fresh salads, and platters are designed to be shared — all perfect for groups, families, or a leisurely long lunch. The expansive lawn is dotted with bean bags, picnic tables, and umbrellas, creating a casual, social vibe that makes it easy to settle in for the afternoon.

What truly makes Wild Estate unique, however, is its range of onsite activities. It’s home to archery, laser clay bird shooting, and giant outdoor games, making it one of the only places on Waiheke where you can sip wine, eat great food, and then test your skills in a friendly challenge — all in one spot. These activities are perfect for groups, team-building events, hens/stag dos, and families with older children. Bookings are recommended, especially during weekends and holidays.

The venue also offers exclusive group packages, combining activities with food and drink, and is a popular choice for corporate retreats, celebrations, and weddings. With plenty of outdoor space and flexible seating, Wild Estate can cater to both intimate gatherings and large group events with ease.
