Looking for a summer escape? Set on the stunning eastern end of Waiheke Island, Man O’ War is where award-winning wines, coastal inspired menus and laid-back adventure come together for the ultimate day-trip.
THE JOURNEY BEGINS WITH THE VIEW
Just 90 minutes from downtown Auckland, the scenic journey is part of the allure. Cruise the Hauraki Gulf direct to Man O’ War Bay with Explore Group, or take a picturesque drive across the island on Fullers’ Eastern Explorer Bus.
A TASTE OF LOCAL HOSPITALITY
The beachfront Tasting Room & Restaurant is made for long, lazy afternoons. Grab a table under the pōhutukawa, enjoy a guided tasting, or pair your favourite drop with a coastal-inspired menu packed with fresh, local flavours. Over summer, there’s a popup lawn bar and kitchen and a lineup of Auckland’s finest DJs. The expansive lawn and beach access ensures there’s plenty of space for all ages to unwind and play.
MEET SWIFTSURE – THE SOUTH ISLAND CONNECTION
New to the Tasting Room this summer, Swiftsure – the latest addition to the Man O’ War family – brings a taste of the South Island to the bay. Crafted with the same passion and pioneering spirit as Man O’ War’s Waiheke icons, Swiftsure celebrates cooler-climate winemaking – bold wines from alpine vineyards in Marlborough and Central Otago. Whether you’re a pinot devotee or just love discovering something new, this is your chance to experience Man O’ War through a fresh lens.
ADD AN ADVENTURE
See Waiheke from a new perspective with Man O’ War Forest Flight. Three dual ziplines and connecting boardwalks weave above and below ancient kauri canopies with epic island views. Designed for a range of ages and fitness levels it’s a gentle thrill and an unforgettable experience to share with family and friends – no fearlessness required.
A DAY WORTH THE JOURNEY
Whether you come for the wine, the views, or to simply slow down, Man O’ War makes it easy to make lasting memories. Book ahead for Forest Flight, tastings and dining, especially on weekends and public holidays, and let this summer be the one where you discover one of Waiheke’s most breathtaking corners.
