Casita Miro Vineyard

Perched on the sunny slopes above Onetangi Beach, Casita Miro Vineyard is one of Waiheke Island’s most beloved destinations — known as much for its food and atmosphere as it is for its wine. With panoramic views across vineyards and sea, it offers a truly transportive experience that feels part Mediterranean finca, part modern New Zealand marvel.

Casita Miro specialises in Spanish and French varietals, including Syrah, Albariño, and Bordeaux-style reds, all produced on the vineyard’s north-facing slopes. Wine tastings are offered in their beautifully designed cellar door, which opens out onto mosaic-tiled terraces surrounded by vines and native bush.

But what truly sets Casita Miro apart is its dining experience. The restaurant offers a shared dining philosophy centred around Spanish and Mediterranean flavours. The menu features tapas-style dishes designed for sharing — from crispy patatas bravas and jamón ibérico to fresh seafood, slow-cooked meats, saffron-infused rice dishes, and bright seasonal vegetables. Every plate is crafted with care and presented beautifully, complemented by house-made bread, olive oil, and their own wines.

The restaurant’s glasshouse-style dining room provides stunning views over the vines and sea, while the mosaic terrace and garden areas are perfect for long, relaxed lunches in the sun. The vibrant decor, inspired by Gaudí, adds colour and character to every visit. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic meal or celebrating with a group, Casita Miro delivers a dining experience that’s warm, generous, and truly memorable.
