The 11 acre award-winning vineyard overlooks the sculpture gardens with views out to Little Barrier Island. Sculptureum wines are best enjoyed with a meal at Rothko Restaurant or savour the experience and take a bottle home.

This is the second time I have been to Sculptureum. I was equally if not more impressed than I was 3 years ago. The gardens are spectacular and the artwork and sculptures nestle into the gardens beautifully, creating a peaceful and reflective space to wander through. This trip was extra special for my daughters and me as the owner took us under his wing while we meandered through the artwork inside. It was an absolute treat to have Anthony delve into the history of some of the pieces, why he had chosen them, show us the newest pieces in the collection as well as give us some history and insight into the artists. How special and absolutely memorable! We are so fortunate in this part of the world to have such a stunning private collection of art and sculpture available to be enjoyed by all. Highly recommended.
