OMATA ESTATE & KITCHEN

Located eight kilometers from Russell, you can reach the charming Omata estate by boat from Okiato or, if you have time, by car. For over 25 years, its vineyards have been delighting the taste buds of the most discerning palates. Take the time to taste the four house wines with the tasting flight ($19). These include Pinot Gris, Rosé, Chardonnay and Syrah. This beverage goes perfectly with wood-fired pizzas or a cheese and charcuterie board overlooking the estate and the Bay of Island. Omata Estate is well worth the detour!
