Wine selection in Auckland

“Our second time at Apero in ten days, and both times were terrific. The food is imaginative and beautifully presented. The service is so good - a really friendly host takes you through the menu and the wine list in a very charming way, and you feel very welcome, appreciated and well cared for. All the dishes were excellent, and especially good - the potato dauphine and the strawberry soufflé. Oh, and the very good bread and butter! That something so simple can be so well done just shows what a tip top kitchen is at work!”

“It’s so rare to find a restaurant that gets it right in Auckland these days. Enjoy great food, great wine and excellent service - fantastic thank you guys!”

“Gorgeous restaurant with fantastic mood lighting. Service was impeccable from the initial welcome to the food servers. Food – oh my yummy! We had tomatoes and ceviche for starters, then rib eye and ribs for mains with cauliflower for sides. Every dish was delicious and good size! Super enjoyable!”

“A very nice place for all your wines, spirits and beer. They even do cheese n stuff, thats goes with wine.”

“What a awesome liquor shop, well stocked with a wide variety! Friendly staff who are very helpful and know there wines!”

“Really tasty food, well balanced flavours. Love the ratio of meat, rice and salad. My partner doesn't eat salad so I happily had his share. So glad they had a pop up at Smales Farm but wished they could stay longer. The spaghetti and chicken was tasty too! Highly recommend the adobo, lechon and inasal.”

“Great retail experience! The team provided me with inputs on options for my Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Drink. They even have a complementary bottle fornyou to try. They know what they are selling! Unlike the other Liquor stores around the neighborhood. Highly recommended store.”

“Had a great lunch stop on the way to the airport on Tuesday. The range of GP beers is always a selection dilemma, but settled on a February Fresh IPA... delicious. Enjoyed a great VEGAN masala toastie. Guys you really need to refresh the menu and add more plant-based choices!”

“Great for classic Italian flavors and generous portions,the wood fire pizzas are fantastic! Great place to eat.Excellant staff and service.”

“SCORE: 85/100 I saw that Due Amici had a lot of positive reviews in Google, so I gave this a go. Booked a day before for two and had no problems. They were extremely busy, which reflects their ratings clearly. Had their signature pizza, which was great and a pasta dish I forget the name of. Both were great. I would definitely go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend.”

“We tried the tortellini and spaghetti bolognaise, it was absolutely delicious. It’s been a while since we’ve been to a proper Italian restaurant and this one didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere is beautiful, service is attentive and friendly. We will come back if we are in this area again.”

Nestled in the heart of Oneroa on beautiful Waiheke Island, Artworks Theatre serves as a vibrant hub for local creativity and live entertainment.

The theatre hosts an array of events, including live comedy shows, stand-up gigs, theatrical plays, and intimate musical performances. It features a fully equipped stage, professional sound and lighting systems, and a licensed bar serving a great selection of local wines and beers.

“I was looking for a specific wine to gift and Bhupinder Singh was amazing. He even wrapped it beautifully and even gave a pair of free cold beers on a particularly hot day!!! That’s what I call service par excellence!!!”

“A good sized liquor store, often with deals if you're open minded with what you want to drink. Friendly staff. Close to glenfield mall, macdonalds, burger fuel and other fast food if you're after food too. Be aware that the liquor laws mean alcohol shops can't sell after 9pm now.”

“What a great and beautiful theatre the Civic is. It has so many spaces, and walking inside feels like being in a movie. It was also used by Peter Jackson to film King Kong, and today it hosts international shows. The place is very well kept, with respect for the time when it was built. The hall with its starry sky. The bronze. Everything always shining. Very recommended to visit.”

“Celebrated our wedding anniversary and did not disappoint. Every food is delicious and the customer service is superb. We will surely recommend and come back again ❤️❤️”

“We have loved the vibe, the food and the service ! Small place with a great and friendly service. Waiter were good adviser. Food really interesting, different and delicious! Thank you, it's been a while I didn't enjoy that much to go to a restaurant and both enjoy the experience and the food! Great job!”

“True authentic Italian with great service and atmosphere. The pizzas were delicious and the lemon cello & tiramisu is a must! We would certainly return - fair price and no complaints! Would recommend booking as it’s quite a small restaurant”

“Beautiful food as always. The cocktails were fabulous. Some of the cocktails could have been a little bit more decorated as we loved taking photos. Apart from this everything was perfect.”

“El Greco Greek Restaurant delivered an outstanding dining experience. The meal was delicious, authentic and expertly prepared, with fresh ingredients. The portion was generous including the Calamari starter which was amazing. The service was warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel welcome without being intrusive. A wonderful, on-the-house birthday dessert added a memorable and celebratory touch. Highly recommended for a reliably superb meal and excellent hospitality.”

“The staff are awesome. So friendly and go the extra mile for you. Great product knowledge and passionate about mixes, cocktails and everything you need. Happy to print out a recipe and show how it's made. Keep up the great work you guys are really appreciated!”

“Incredible little bottle shop with an amazing selection of beers, wines and spirits from nz and around the world. You can tell these guys really care about their product and presentation. They find really interesting and great items at all price points from very affordable to really premium items. It feels really exciting and makes you want to try some of the suggestions and specials. Great work! Wish I had a similar bottle shop near my home in melbourne.”

“As a first-time customer, I was impressed with the extensive product range and competitive prices offered by this store. The delivery service exceeded my expectations, reaching the southern end of the North Island swiftly and securely packaging my fragile items. I am undoubtedly looking forward to future shopping experiences here. I'd also like to express my thanks for the bonus item, which was a nice treat for my kids. Thank you for your outstanding service!”

“I had the distinct pleasure of eating at Di Vino Bistro for the first time. It was a most wonderful experience, the service was amazing, the food incredible and the price very reasonable.”

“Nice little place ran by a very very friendly and polite couple. Had the tom yum soup with prawn. Price is quite cheap. Overheard the gentleman at the counter telling a customer not to rush to pick-up her takeaway order when she asked to collect during their closing time (8pm). He said they will wait for her (aww).”

“Hands down our favourite local takeaways. The quality of food is brilliant (burgers are my favourite) and the staff are lovely. They are really busy on Fridays at peak times (because it’s so good) but staff are always super friendly and helpful. We make sure to order around 5pm on a Friday for shorter wait times. We’d prefer to enjoy dinner from an owner-operator place like PL rather than a chain restaurant any day!”

“Great shop. Fair prices and great customer service. Our local store highly recommend!”
