Kono Wines is the only 100% Maori-owned Winery in New Zealand. "One of our core values, manaakitanga encapsulates care and respect for people and relationships, including the natural environment. It governs the way we interact with one another. An essential part of Māori culture is our desire to feed and nurture people. Sharing food is a traditional way of bringing people together. We demonstrate our love and respect for people by providing them with outstanding food and wine."

Kono Wines is located in Te Tauihu, the top of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. Our country is defined by the beauty of its landscapes and the warmth of its people. Known for its dramatic mountain ranges and miles of pristine coastlines, it is a place of creativity – unbound by convention. We have a strong attitude of adventure and a great sense of fun.

The unique climate, varied geography and soil structure combined with a deeply passionate connection to the land contributes to diverse and sophisticated styles across the wine growing regions.
