About Waipara Springs Winery and Restaurant

Waipara Springs is a second-generation, family-owned winery and restaurant at 409 Omihi Road in the Waipara Valley, hosted by Andrew and Katie. Weddings and milestone celebrations come as full packages.

Ceremonies are held on the main lawn under the pergola or in a secret garden, with climbing roses, old oak barrels and white picket fencing as the backdrop. Receptions take place in the Cellar Door for up to 100 guests, and the all-weather capacity means no marquee is needed.

There are two outdoor ceremony spots plus indoor options. Tables, chairs, crockery, cutlery, black linens and napkins are included, the venue is fully licensed, and access starts from 9am.

A planning team guides couples from deposit to the last guest out the door. Rated 4.7 from 792 Google reviews, 675 of them five stars.
