PODERI CRISCI ESTATE
205 and 205A Awaawaroa Road, Waiheke Island
Poderi Crisci Estate
Awaawaroa Bay, Waiheke Island
Some places are purchased. Others are discovered.
Hidden among the rolling hills of Waiheke Island, Poderi Crisci feels like a small corner of Tuscany that quietly settled in the South Pacific and decided to stay.
WHERE WAIHEKE MEETS THE SOUL OF ITALY
A short journey from Auckland’s international airport, yet worlds away in atmosphere. Sunlit vines, ancient olive groves, fertile gardens. The rhythm of land, wine and hospitality defining daily life. Island tranquillity. Global accessibility. A balance that is increasingly rare.
THE VINEYARD AND RESTAURANT
At the heart of the estate lies a celebrated destination that has earned its place as one of Waiheke’s most loved. Long lunches among the vines. Weddings unfolding against sweeping rural backdrops. Wine, olive oil and seasonal produce grown, harvested and served in the same breath. This is the Mediterranean philosophy of living close to the land, made real.
THE RESIDENCE
At the centre of the estate sits a Tuscan country-style villa with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Warm, elegant and unhurried.
Outside, a 6x12 metre pool and spa overlook the surrounding landscape. Above La Locanda Bistro, a fully self-contained guest suite offers a generous office, double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, connected to the main villa through the winery via an elevated bridge suspended above the vats and barrels. Architecture as experience.
THE LAND AND WHAT LIES AHEAD
At the upper reaches of the property, a designated building platform commands elevated views toward Awaawaroa Bay. Plans have been drawn. The potential is real. A helipad provides direct access to Auckland in approximately ten minutes.
WHAT THIS PLACE COULD BECOME
An elegant agriturismo. An expanded wedding venue. A boutique vineyard retreat. A private holding with vines at its heart. Or simply what it already is. A place deeply woven into Waiheke’s food and wine culture, stewarded by someone who understands its worth.
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 Italy, shaped on Waiheke Island.
