We met Akarua Head Winemaker Andrew Keenleyside on our recent Lonely Planet Wine Trails Adventure in Central Otago. We found out that his childhood dream was to become a truckie, his proudest achievement was the release of Akarua's first genuine single block pinot (Kolo) and his biggest fail had something to do with destroying a press beyond repair... 


Hey Kids!

Under the Liquor Control Reform Act 1998 it is an offence:

  • to supply alcohol to a person under the age of 18 years (penalty exceeds $17,000).
  • for a person under the age of 18 years to purchase or receive liquor (penalty exceeds $700)

Liquor Licence No. 36300937

Seriously

At Vinomofo, we love our wine, but we like to also lead long and happy lives, and be good to the world and the people in it. We all try to drink responsibly, in moderation, and we really hope you do too.

Don’t be that person…
