Tiki Wines, a family-owned wine producer, follows Māori principles of kaitiakitanga, crafting sustainable, high-quality wines while preserving the land for future generations. Their wines honour both Royce’s great-great-great-grandfather and the hand-carved Māori taonga traditionally gifted to bestow good fortune and love. Through the wines and the stories shared about the land, sea, people, and culture that inspire them, Tiki Wines celebrates what it is proud to call New Zealandness: a love of life, nature, people, food, and wine.
Visitors to North Canterbury can enjoy a selection of Tiki Wines at the Waipara Winehouse (780 Glasnevin Road), a cellar door set among vineyard surroundings. Offering tastings, wine flights, food, and a relaxed atmosphere, it is an ideal place to experience the character of North Canterbury wine and the spirit that inspires Tiki.
