The best cellar door experience, the best wine club, and the best service from any winery I've interacted with. They really go out of their way to treat customers and wine club members well with full, customized tastings when you visit and simply outstanding service when you order from them. Oh yeah - and the wine is excellent too!

Fabulous venue for a cellar door/wine lounge; very comfortable with inside, outside and undercover seating areas in the courtyard of Porter’s Hotel. A wine tasting with sommelier Damian guiding us through a comprehensive, excellent quality, wine list was an absolute joy. Damian’s expert knowledge and lovely manner was both educational and entertaining. Highly recommend.

We came here for a quick drink before dinner and I was really impressed by the service, drinks selection, and ambiance! The staff were quite busy but still very helpful and attentive. We’ll have to come back for a longer tasting.

My partner and I had an amazing wine tasting/oyster session this afternoon in the sun. Our extremely knowledgeable waitress was amazing. Menu looked great. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

*** UPDATED *** can't do 6 stars *** Now the tour of the lower and central North Island (Te Ika a Maui), is coming to a close in the Hawkes Bay area, I couldn't pass up a wine and dine session at Smith & Sheth. Now the cellar room has different hours to the wine room... dont let this get in the way of a good time tasting and drinking the region's finest. Plus the meals are great, hence the picture of platter empty.... anyway great staff that know the history of the wines.. with great sense of humour. Holy heck now for an update book yourselves in for the experience that will blow your minds, go for the Heretaunga wine tasting! We did and we got Mike as a wine tasting guru it was very educational, tasty, and most of all fun experience. The best experience in wine tasting.

Cute cozy place to enjoy a glass of premium wine with a superb service. Make sure to ask their sommelier about the story of their CRU collection. 5*

As an ex Havelock boy this is a refreshing change.. great staff and good wines.. I like the half glass option and leave it to the wine steward ( sommelier) tasting option. Good place to drop in if you like a good variety of decent wines.

Our sommelier Sonya was knowledgeable and accommodating with all our queries. Compared to other sessions I had in Margaret River and Swan Valley, this is the best session I've ever had.
