Man O' War Vineyards, Coastal vineyard in Waiheke Island, New Zealand.
Man O' War Vineyards is a wine estate on the eastern coast of Waiheke Island, with vines growing across multiple plots that produce varieties such as Syrah and Chardonnay. The property includes a tasting room and restaurant situated right at the beach, overlooking the water.
The name comes from Captain James Cook, who named the bay in 1769 during his first voyage along New Zealand's coast. Cook's discovery of the tall Kauri trees in the area was significant for British shipbuilding.
The vineyard takes its name from Man O' War Bay, which Captain James Cook named in 1769 during his voyage. This connection to maritime history shapes how the place is experienced by visitors today.
The property sits right at the beach, making it an easy spot to spend an afternoon tasting wines while enjoying sea views. The location works best when you have time to relax and explore the grounds at a leisurely pace.
Beyond wine production, the estate also runs sheep farming, cattle ranching, olive cultivation, and beekeeping across its land. This mix of activities makes the property function as a diverse working farm rather than a single-purpose vineyard.
