The keys to the TANTALUS are for sale

Tantalus Estate, one of the Top NZ Wineries of the Year New 2020-2023, was created with three guiding principles in mind: the exceptional, the bespoke and the handcrafted. Since 2013 the owners have transformed 20 acres in the heart of Waiheke Island’s Onetangi Valley to create a state-of-the-art winery, the Alibi craft beer brewery, a world-class restaurant and a premium wedding and events venue. Famed as it is for outstanding wineries, there is arguably nothing on Waiheke Island to match Tantalus. The combination of breathtaking location on the island’s main vineyard and tourist route, and meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the operation has made the difference.

The vineyard, for example, which produces exceptional Bordeaux and Rhône style wines, includes one block planted with a Cabernet Sauvignon clone originally from the Napa Valley, and dating back to 1887. The winery itself makes use of innovative technologies, such as space saving square wine tanks, and unusual ‘concrete eggs’ for Tantalus’s unique expressions of Syrah, Chardonnay and Merlot.

In the 160 seat restaurant one of the most remarked upon features are the chandeliers, crafted from old vines. The Alibi Brewery bar features intricate brickwork and handcrafted beer taps. In the luxuriously appointed ‘Decanter Room’ the inspiration for the estate’s name is revealed – a unique collection of Tantalus cases. A Tantalus is an elegant antique case for keeping then best drinks in the house secure. That’s why each tantalus has a special lock and key.

The most outstanding Tantalus of all though is the Estate itself. Here is a rare opportunity to acquire this incomparable, top-class vineyard, winery, restaurant and events venue. The successful buyer will capitalise on what has already been painstakingly established. They can simply walk in and continue trading.
