Wine selection in Napier

“Advintage offers a wide array of international and local beverages, all of which are reasonably priced and--don't tell everyone--all seem even lower than nearby wineries. Yes, you could dash in to pick up a bottle of whatever you'd like. Happily, whenever you'd like to learn about the local wines, the ground from which they emerge and the people who and processes which produce them, Advintage staff knows all that and explains it in terms that are fascinating and as detailed as you'd like. Plus, they are enthusiastic, welcoming and fun. If only all retailers were this good...”

“This is a great spot to stop in for wine, food and good vibes! Right across from the Museum Theatre Gallery and very central, we stopped after doing the self guided Art Decco walking tour. Great wine and great service!”

“Great range of gifts. Nice atmosphere in the store.”

“Unusual and creative bar that serves eccentric cocktails in the heart of Napier. The bartenders really know how to make amazing cocktails, every single one being really unique and perfectly balanced! We will definitely come back the next time we are in Napier. Lots of love! ❤️ J & C”

“While New Zealand's grocery stores are well stocked, here we found extraordinary offerings of high quality and reasonably priced foods, spices, sauces and more. Many are imported from the foods' country of origin: olives from Kalamata, Greece. Pasta from Italy. Etc. And some, like the organic breads for example, are produced locally. Not only are their foods fantastic, so is their staff. Smart. Responsive. Proud but eager. Striving. Friendly and welcoming.”

“Lovely little hole in a wall bar in an alleyway. Hospitable service, super fun cocktails: definitely worth a visit for a chill night ;)”

At Trattoria alla Toscana, the menu stays classic fish-and-chips, served with an easygoing pace. Pricing lines up with the offer. Cakes and scoops finish things neatly. Buns hold well and patties land juicy.

“Coffee is wonderful. The team at Georgia really know their craft and deliver delicious espresso every time. We came here every day during our holiday”

“Lovely spot to stop on your drive up the coast. Fresh fruit & veg plus stellar coffee. The owner is wonderful too. Recommend!”

On the plate at Rosie O'Grady's Napier, the idea is burger-led and well executed. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Combinations read bold but stay balanced.

“Always Great service - warm, inviting & always helpful. Easy to find what you are looking for and if hey don't sell the exact item there is always something very similar.. like the espresso martini I wanted.. they didn't have the ones I was looking for but did have a similar product which while tastes different was really nice.. prices aren't too bad either.. often have specials too... Just usually not on products I want when I want them - always the way”

“Got my two bottles of pomegranate juices last minute today! Sorry about the hassle. I love this store so much. Thanks for the sourdough as well. I'm not too sure I got your name right, was it Sarah? Thanks again and again.”

The kitchen at The Puketapu takes a classic fish-and-chips path and lets the food speak. Curries carry clear spice and warmth. There’s always a considered veg choice. Sides like naan and rice tie the meal together.

“Just nipped in for lunch and wow, the craft beer selection here is incredible! I had a milk stout, my partner a ginger and mandarin – best drinks ever! The manager was lovely and so attentive, and the bar staff were all super helpful. The food was amazing too – the steak was cooked perfectly, so buttery and tender, it practically melted in your mouth! Can't wait to come back!”

“Staff are great, good selection and decent prices”

Sazio keeps things simple, bistro-style and focused on flavour. Music and pace keep a casual tone. Service stays present without fuss. Takeaway holds up well on the drive. Portions are generous yet we...

“I think the big barrels are so much better than all the other bottle shops around cany beat their prices”

“Felt so ripped off because the advertised beer didnt match what the price was. They sorted it instantly. Best ever.”

“Good lord this place is impressive. Proper good coffee, and a deliciously concise menu, that changes seasonally. 15/10 ez.”

“This is a wonderful place to stay, with Kendall & Greg being incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Our unit was clean, tidy, comfortable and spacious. Just what we needed after a long drive. A good option for families. We will make this place our first choice for future trips to the region.”

“I can thoroughly recommend Bay Tours for your chartered bus needs. They are professional, efficient and competitive with quotes. Bay Tours have awesome bus drivers who are extremely helpful and professional.”

“Friendly staff, good selection, no complaints on my side!”

“Lovely chap there. Very nice and most helpful”

“Brilliant staff, great selection, reasonable prices, good specials. Highly recommended.”

“Always a clean and presentable supermarket like most new worlds, however personally I've not yet come across a new world that makes pies like the supermarket. -Gourmet steak and blue vein pie 9.2/10 Very suprised this hasn't won any awards. They dont spare it on the blue vein, and steak peices are very high quality. If you love blue vein cheese, you'll love this. - Steak, bacon, and cheese pie 8.6/10 All aspects of this pie are on point. Would have been higher if it was the same.shape as the steak and blue vein. However, it's still a great pie.”

“Great helpful staff who always have a smile on their faces and are happy to get something in for you if not in stock.The guy is very friendly. You should definitely visit this shop”

“Great place to shop. Superb staff. Well stocked. Most times have what I am looking for. Fab gift ideas/novelties.”
