We were a party of 3 out to spend our afternoon wine tasting. This was the second of four stops on our ad hoc Waiheke Island winery tour. We arrived around 1 p.m. without reservations looking to do a wine tasting and lunch. Initially, we were told they were booked up. After looking profoundly disappointed, we were asked if a patio table would be ok. Perfect! We were promptly seated with menus and our server/wine guide for the proceedings came over to introduce himself (Brian). We were looking for a flight of red wines and we started discussing options. A few minutes later the first of 4 wines arrived complete with an introduction and history, and our order was taken. We had a fabulous lunch that included a selection of house cured meats and cheeses, octopus carpaccio, raw fish, Kasundi fry bread and salt baked beetroot . 3 more red wines followed with the attendant introduction. It was a fabulous afternoon of great wine, great food and outstanding service. Everyone was great at Te Motu but we want to send a special shoutout to Brian - he was outstanding! We HIGHLY recommend this winery for a fabulous afternoon of dining and sipping.

Visited for a wine tasting. $25 for four different wines, nice drop of wines. The venue was good, you have to walk from the main road for about 10 minutes. I was there by myself and there was another solo visitor that wanted to do wine tasting, We seated at different tables (barrel tables). The girl that served me was more interested to the other solo visitor, she was not sharing eye contact with me while she was explaining about the wine, she was more like talking to one person. Overall is good, maybe best to visit with a friend or more.

The service was fantastic, and the staff were friendly & knowledgeable about the wines. The food was amazing & well-priced for the location. The wine... well I bought 6 bottles to take away, as they were divine. Would highly recommend it & will definitely be visiting again. We did the wine tasting, which consisted of 4 wines & can recommend the following off the menu: Sourdough bread Waiheke extra virgin olive oil Matangi beef tartare preserved cherries, potato Nose to tail cuts - Pork Caramelised banana custard, sorrel granita, citrus crumble

What a great wine-tasting experience. They take pride in the wine and our host was amazing. Definitely, a place to go to learn more about wine and what makes them taste different. Also, helps that they have some of the best wine that we tried that day.

This was my first ever wine tasting experience and I was a little bit nervous, but I like wine, so gave it a try and oooooweee I am glad I did! The Shed provided the perfect venue on this rainy day - lovely, cosy and unpretentious atmosphere with good music. The staff were fantastic and did a great job talking about the vineyard and describing the different wines. You can choose to do the usual wine tasting or pay a bit extra and taste their premium wines - it's a no brainer if this is within your budget. Excellent wine and great food. A real treat!

Winery was pleasant and wine OK. Service for lunch was very average. Requested WiFi password from both servers, neither was sure but did not seek to determine password so no access provided. Neither server seemed concerned that I needed access

Really enjoyed this tour - near the end of the day and the flights provided a broad selection of wines: tasting flight and the step through by years. Really informative discussion from the team without pressure. Real difference in wine compared to next door vineyards… Great atmosphere, you need to walk down the lane to get there, but worth it.
