In French, the word “Oenothèque” roughly translates to “Wine Library.” It’s a special word and, although it takes a little practice to pronounce it, they feel it’s completely perfect to describe who we are – wine lovers – and what we do – share delicious, distinctive, interesting wines with those who visit us.
Nestled in the heart of Havelock North, in the courtyard behind Porters Boutique Hotel, you’ll find the Smith & Sheth Oenothèque, Cellar Door and Wine Lounge, and the Heretaunga Wine Studio. They look forward to sharing the pleasure, culture and craft of our wine with you.
