We’re thrilled to introduce Into The Vines, New Zealand’s boutique summer festival celebrating wine, food and music right here at Sculptureum. On Saturday, 28 February 2026, we’ll be opening our grounds and gardens for a day filled with boutique wine tastings, locally inspired cuisine, live music and immersive experiences.
Created by Lemongrass Productions, the team from Winetopia and Taste of Auckland, Into The Vines is designed as a premium yet playful journey into New Zealand’s wine country. Guests can wander our sculpture-filled gardens and galleries, meet boutique producers from across the region, taste exceptional dishes, and enjoy a vibrant, sun-soaked festival atmosphere.
As you explore, live music will set the tone, from relaxed afternoon grooves to a full celebratory finale. The line-up features duelling pianos in Rocket Man v Piano Man, the keys and brass magic of Love Square, and a summer-soaked closing set by Sola Rosa (live band).
For those looking to elevate their day, our VIP Experience offers something truly special. Enjoy the Rothko Matakana Food & Wine Experience created by Chef Neil Sapitula — fresh from winning a Hat in Cuisine Good Food Awards and Metro Magazine’s Best Destination Restaurant 2025. Relax in the Garden Lounge Marquee overlooking the stage, with a welcome drink, dedicated bar, private bathrooms and full-day festival access.
