Te Awa Winery

Established in 1992 by the Lawson family, Te Awa is situated in the renowned Gimblett Gravels premium winegrowing region of Hawkes Bay. The land had traditionally been used for grazing and was part of the original Longlands Station, however, the Lawson's intention was not to farm sheep but to grow premium grapes for making fine wine.

A firm commitment to the promotion of wine tourism within Hawkes Bay saw the development in 1999 of the acclaimed Te Awa Winery restaurant. Te Awa Winery is committed to providing guests with a genuinely outstanding New Zealand wine and food experience, based around local Hawkes Bay produce in a uniquely New Zealand environment.

With each successive vintage, Te Awa Winery has established a firm reputation and received numerous accolades as a leading single estate grown wine producer both within New Zealand and on the world stage.

In 2002 Te Awa Winery was purchased by Julian Robertson who is committed to continuing the core values and philosophy that is the essence of Te Awa.
