Ataahua's vineyard covers 8.24 hectares in Waipara Valley, North Canterbury wine country. It is planted on central Waipara's Glasnevin soils, situated on the Weka River terraces (taking advantage of a micro-climate unique in New Zealand).
Syrah and Pinot Noir grapes grow on the lower terrace, an area fed with mulch to build up the soil structure.
Pinot Noir grows on the middle and top terraces, while Riesling and Chardonnay plantings also grow on the clay loam soil of the top terrace.
Ataahua is a family-run vineyard, worked by multiple generations of the Henderson-Grants whānau and their team.
Ataahua are committed to sustainability and, as such, are certified sustainable. This entails looking after the land with future generations in mind, and for Ataahua this means strategically planting natives to aim for carbon neutrality and undertaking other practical endeavours such as rain water collection for irrigation.

All the way in Christchurch, but occasionally order from this store as it has wines I like that I can't source elsewhere, at a great price too. Always great service, and will keep using them.

I had been searching for a very specific wine and I finally found it here. Not only did they have the wine I was searching for, they had a beautiful collection of other wines. If you are a wine lover, be sure to check out Vino Fino. The staff were very knowledgeable on the types of wine and the wine makers. I will be coming back again for sure.

Whilst they don't have any serious competition they do stock some great wines and their specials often are just that!

Unfortunately I just think the service could have been friendlier. I knew what I wanted so should have been an easy customer so started telling my list to the not overly friendly person who asked me if I was ok. They didn’t have everything I wanted which I was fine with but then the two people at the till didn’t even say hello or offer any sort of acknowledgement which I think is quite rude. This was my first time in and I just felt like it should have been a little better. I’ve always thought these guys were the Ballantynes of the Christchurch Liqour scene but the inside just reminded me of a pop up warehouse. Sorry team, but I think you could look and be better.

Possibly the best wine shop in New Zealand. I've been coming here for 11+ years. Excellent, interesting wines at a range of price points; friendly, personal and knowledgeable service. If the wall of Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris, Shiraz and Pinot Noir at the supermarket doesn't do it for you, you need to sign up for Vino Fino's email. They work hard to get sharp prices on very good wines.

Been a longtime customer here. Great range with reasonable prices. Free delivery over $150 if order online which is even better. Keep an eye on their deal and usually you can find some really great deals

An amazing selection of wine from pretty much all over the planet! Price are decent too and for sure if you are good at spotting the right wine can get some amazing wines to a more than fair price! Parking is a bit of an issue but worst come to worst can park at the south city carpark and walk 100m!

So impressed with this business. I order online for delivery (some courier companies say we are rural) and always receive the order the next day. Love the Italian selections, styles and every wine I've received has been very good. Keep up the very good service!

Relatively new to wine and liquor, but I have found the experience of trying new wines and liquor enjoying with the help from the staff at Vino Fino. Very friendly and tolerant of my basic questions!

Amazing customer service. Vino Fino arranged a gift wrapped, hand delivered, chilled bottle of champagne for the morning of my best friends wedding, as I was stuck in the UK with COVID. A beautiful gift. It was like nothing was too much trouble for them. I was even able to dictate a small message. Thank you for your excellent service!

Great range of wines.You will find some not so common grape varieties are available here.
They appear to be competitively priced. Service was excellent. The shop is split over three levels. Not sure how you'd cope if you are mobility impaired.
