SOHO Family Vineyards
Tucked into the hillside of the Onetangi Valley on Waiheke, the north-west facing aspect of the Carter Vineyard is protected from the cold Southerly winds. The marginal clay soils help to delay ripening, retain acidity, and intensify the flavours. The average vine age is now approximately 18 years, the depth and richness from which is reflected in the wines. The vineyard is dry-farmed and the gentle slopes help with run-off in wetter seasons.In the vineyard, no expense is spared in the interests of wine quality. All viticultural work is done by hand from winter pruning, through shoot thinning and leaf plucking to harvesting. Naturally low yielding, each block is carefully assessed for balance and fruit is often dropped to the ground, so the vines can put all their energy to ripening fewer bunches

Stonyridge Vineyard
Stonyridge Vineyard is the ongoing dream of owner Stephen White. In 1981 Stephen returned to New Zealand after sailing a Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, skippering yachts in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, and working at wineries in France, California and Italy. It was during this 3-year adventure that Stephen came to love the culture and lifestyle of the Mediterranean and the great red wines of France, Tuscany and California.After extensive climatic research Stonyridge was discovered as the ideal north facing site to ripen and produce a world class Bordeaux style red wine.The first Bordeaux vines and olive trees were planted in 1982 with the help of close friends and family. This makes Stonyridge the first commercial olive grove in New Zealand. When Cabernet Franc and Malbec were planted in 1983, it was the beginning of New Zealand’s first Bordeaux four blend.In 1984 Stephen returned to Bordeaux for a final training period to collect Petit Verdot and completed a vintage at Chateau d’Angludet, Cantenac-Margaux under the tutelage of Peter Sichel.Stephen produced the first vintage at Stonyridge Vineyard in 1985. Two years later, he made the great 1987 Larose that rocketed Stonyridge to national fame, and attracted international attention – a wine hailed as the greatest red wine ever made in New Zealand.The 1993 vintage, Stonyridge made the first Bordeaux five blend in the new world. In 2000, an elite French sommelier team put Stonyridge Larose 1996 as first equal with Chateau Petrus, Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Cheval Blanc in Grandes vins rouge du Monde (Les Editions du Bottin Gourmand).Today Stonyridge is referred to as “One of the Top Ten Must Visit Wineries in the World” Guardian UK and topped the list for the best Cabernet Merlot in The Age/ Sydney Morning Herald Good Wine Guide 2013. Our wines consistently score over 95 points with world renown critics such as James Suckling. Most recently, our Larose 2019 achieving a 97 point rating and our Pilgrim 2020 winning a score of 96 points.

Welcome to Ostend
Tucked between the laid-back surf of Onetangi and the quiet charm of Surfdale, Ostend hums along as the industrious heart of Waiheke Island. While it may not boast the sprawling vineyards or golden beaches that other parts of the island are known for, Ostend holds its own with a mix of local life, practicality, and understated character.A name born in historyIn 1915, as World War I gripped Europe, a naming competition was held for a new Waiheke settlement. Miss Boylan from Auckland suggested “Ostend,” in honour of the Belgian coastal city that had become a symbol of endurance during the war. The name stuck, and by early 1916, the first land in the Ostend Estate was auctioned off. What began as a quiet peninsula in Putiki Bay grew into a key local hub for residents and visitors alike.The Working Village of WaihekeOstend is often called the “industrial area” of Waiheke—but that’s exactly what gives it its charm. It’s the island’s go-to for essentials: hardware, auto services, groceries, council business, and medical appointments. But look a little deeper and you’ll find lively markets, hidden foodie gems, and creative corners tucked in between.Top Things to Do in Ostend🛍 Visit the Saturday Ostend MarketEvery Saturday morning, the Ostend Market transforms the War Memorial Hall into a bustling community scene. You’ll find everything from locally grown produce and Waiheke honey to upcycled crafts, vintage finds, and homemade jams. It’s a must-do if you want to experience the real Waiheke.🚤 Stroll Along the Causeway to Putiki BayTake a peaceful walk across the causeway that links Ostend to Surfdale. The views of Putiki Bay are beautiful, and it’s a favourite mooring spot for boaties commuting to and from Half Moon Bay.☕️ Grab a Bite or a CoffeeLocal cafés and bakeries in Ostend serve up great coffee and hearty meals. It’s where islanders go for their morning caffeine fix or a casual lunch between errands.🧰 Shop the Essentials (and the Unexpected)Home to Countdown, the island’s only supermarket, Ostend is practical to the core. But look out for local gems like Upcycle Waiheke, op shops with quirky finds, and small creative studios that reflect the island’s arty spirit.💉 Services that MatterWith the Waiheke Medical Centre, a Baptist Church, and a branch of the Auckland Council all based in Ostend, it’s a one-stop area for locals getting things done—whether it’s seeing the doctor or sorting building permits.Why Visit Ostend?Ostend may not have the glitz of Oneroa or the vineyards of Onetangi, but it’s full of heart. It’s where locals shop, chat, and live. It’s where creativity meets practicality. And it’s the kind of place that grows on you—the more time you spend here, the more you appreciate its no-fuss charm.
