David Nash opens The College Hill Wine Room

A new space encompassing fine wine retail, subterranean cellaring, private dining and a neighbourhood wine bar has opened in central Auckland.

The College Hill Wine Room in Freemans Bay has been created by wine professional David Nash – the co-founder and co-owner of Helio, The Marlborist, Alpine Rift wines and the Bluff Distillery, and the writer/director of acclaimed NZ wine story film A Seat at the Table.

Menus are overseen by Executive Chef and partner Ryan Moore, with Joe Costello as Wine Director.

“I wanted to set about creating a wine lover’s home away from home, that happens to come with a private dining room, a Michelin-starred chef and boasts some of New Zealand’s most experienced wine professionals. A state-of the-art subterranean wine cellar accessible 24/7 with unlimited corkage at your very own wine bar, and of course a shop with a curated offering to help replenish your cellar for a lifetime of enjoyment – all under one roof,” says David.

“With the launch of The Wine Room we’re looking to set a new standard for wine and spirit experiences in New Zealand by curating bespoke, elevated services that cater to each client’s preferences. From personalised wine recommendations to private dining and exclusive events, we will create unforgettable moments that set The Wine Room as a benchmark for luxury and service excellence.”
