Hidden among the rolling hills of Waiheke Island, Poderi Crisci feels like a small corner of Tuscany quietly settled in the South Pacific. Only a short journey from Auckland’s international airport, yet worlds away in atmosphere, the estate unfolds across sunlit vines, olive groves and fertile gardens where land, wine and hospitality shape daily life. Arriving here feels like stepping into another rhythm. The road winds through gentle countryside before revealing rows of vines stretching across warm slopes, olive trees catching the afternoon light and the soft movement of the island breeze across the valley. It is a landscape that invites people to slow down — to taste, gather and stay a little longer. At the heart of the estate sits a celebrated vineyard and restaurant, already established as one of Waiheke’s most loved destinations. Guests gather for long lunches among the vines, weddings unfold against sweeping rural backdrops, and the land produces wine, olive oil and seasonal produce that reflect the character of the site. The Mediterranean philosophy of living close to the land feels natural here — growing, harvesting, cooking and sharing all part of the same story. Complementing the hospitality operation is a welcoming residential component. At the centre stands a Tuscan country-style villa with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, reflecting the relaxed warmth and rustic elegance of the setting. Outdoors, a 6 × 12 metre swimming pool and spa overlook the surrounding landscape — a private retreat to unwind after vineyard days or gather with friends beneath the Waiheke sun. More recently, a beautifully designed guest suite has been created above La Locanda Bistro. This fully self-contained residence includes a generous office, double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. It connects to the main villa through the winery itself, where an elevated internal bridge crosses above the winemaking area — a striking architectural moment suspended above vats and barrels, reminding visitors how closely life and craft are intertwined. Beyond the existing buildings, further possibilities unfold across the land. At the upper reaches of the property lies a designated building platform with elevated views stretching across the sea toward Awaawaroa Bay. Plans have been prepared for additional visitor facilities carefully positioned within the landscape, offering potential to expand the hospitality experience. The estate also features an existing helipad, allowing direct access to Auckland in approximately ten minutes — a rare convenience that enhances both lifestyle and business potential. Creativity and gathering have always been part of Poderi Crisci’s story. Among the vines sits a remarkable amphitheatre designed for performances, celebrations and shared moments beneath the open sky — reflecting the founder’s vision of bringing a slice of Italian countryside culture to Waiheke Island. Today the estate operates as a successful vineyard and hospitality destination, yet its future could take many forms — an elegant agriturismo, a boutique vineyard retreat, an expanded wedding venue, or a private estate where vines frame everyday life. Poderi Crisci is more than a vineyard. It is a way of life — where wine is crafted, food is grown and people gather in a setting that feels timeless. A slice of Tuscany, shaped on Waiheke Island.
