The quintessential Kiwi experience of wearing jandals, a vest and shorts comes hand-in-hand with a glass of fine wine, fabulous food and one hell of an outdoor space. Serving up these ingredients is the vineyard-come-urban cabin concept that is The Tasting Shed, oozing rustic charm with low-slung lanterns, exposed steel beams, and aged ash wood. Based out in the gorgeous countryside, 30 minutes away from the center of Auckland and right next to the Coopers Creek Vineyard, The Tasting Shed is the crème de la crème of Kiwi alfresco dining. The menu offers a range of worldly flavors, paired with an extensive collection of New World wines.
