Other things to note When we’re not hosting guests, we’re making wine! In 2020, we started our own wine company: Responsible Hedonist. We craft low intervention wines from organically farmed Syrah grapes grown in Hawke’s Bay. Let us know if you’d like us to have a bottle of our wine waiting for you when you check in. We can also help arrange a bespoke, self-guided, Waiheke Island wine tasting experience for you. Just say the word!
