Poderi Crisci vineyard encompasses 7.7 hectares on a north facing slope set amongst a sheltered amphitheatre and a narrow rocky strip believed to be 30 million set years older than the rest of the Island.
Located at the end of a country lane, Poderi Crisci is a family-owned vineyard and restaurant with Italian flair and a passion for traditional winemaking. For four generations the Crisci family have been immersed in the art of food and wine. Antonio, born and raised in Napoli, arrived in NZ in the early ’90s quickly making a name for himself in the Auckland scene with the establishment of Toto restaurant in Nelson Street. With his partner Vivienne Farnell they opened Non Solo Pizza in 1996, forever an institution in Parnell. Non Solo Pizza was sold to Savor Group in 2019, and the Toto name has been rivived at Toto Pizza in Central Auckland, with meter long pizzas a specialty.
The first merlot vines were planted in 2000. The success of the first vines led to the planting of other grape varieties and vegetable gardens with Poderi Crisci being founded in 2008 and the restaurant opening in 2010. Antonio, a visionary, has transformed the Waiheke Island vineyard into a place people will visit to wine, dine and have ‘layers of experience.’
Poderi Crisci is without doubt a destination worthy of the journey.
Antonio loves being an owner/operator of his restaurants and he gives constant attention to detail and to continually uphold standards of food and wine service. He loves that he has the possibility to “entirely express my vision of food being an integral part of life”.
His life long passion for flavours begun with his grandmother teaching him the secrets of Italian cuisine, in his mum’s kitchen- Napoli, Southern Italy. His love of food drove him to open his first restaurant in his hometown at the age of 19.
With dreams of sailing around the world, Antonio left Italy with his travels eventually leading him to arrive by yacht to Paihia, NZ in 1991. He made his way to Auckland working in a few restaurants and was surprised by how few European products were accessible in NZ’s largest city. Still keen to see more of the world he travelled to Australia, Indonesia and back to Europe then decided to make NZ his home in 1993. Within a few months he begun to introduce his favourite Italian flavours through his vision of what an Italian restaurant should be, ‘Toto’ in Nelson St, Auckland. The flagship restaurant was welcomed with great enthusiasm in the somewhat barren dining scene of the era and quickly attracted Auckland’s movers & shakers. It is also where he met the then Maitre’D of ‘Toto’, and now life and business partner, Vivienne Farnell. They have two daughters, Bella & Marilena, who are the inspiration in Antonios life.

Our wines are lovingly produced in French oak barriques over an 18 month period in our underground cellar. Possibly the most beautiful cellar room in Waiheke.
Influenced by old world styled wine and grape varieties, our wines are produced with a respect for nature and minimal intervention on the wine making process. Focus is on quality above all else with the majority of vineyard work carried out by hand.
All the fruit used for Poderi Crisci wines is estate grown and selectively hand harvested. The grapes are extensively sorted in the vineyard to ensure that only the very best fruit comes into the winery, a second more intensive sorting process is then carried out prior the crushing, finishing with a natural melalactic and aged in French oak barrique using 25% of new oak for the red varieties.
One of the finest examples of a kitchen garden lines the entrance to Poderi Crisci. It is not uncommon to see the chefs in the garden sourcing what are definitely the freshest possible ingredients and herbs. Our garden is carefully managed by our talented head gardener providing fresh seasonal produce all year round.
From a bountiful herb garden, salad leaves and tomatoes, to artichokes, figs, pumpkin and some of the finest zucchini you will ever see. We truly believe you cannot match the goodness that comes when you go straight from the garden to plate. Via the kitchen of course.
The garden highlights the importance that we place in fresh ingredients used with high quality condiments such as our own olive oil and Sapa. Finish your meal with Agrumetto Citrus liqueur, Aquavite and other Italian influenced speciality products created at the vineyard.
Another reason things just taste better at Poderi Crisci.
Poderi Crisci Zefiro – A new, exciting addition to our range. A prosecco style sparkling pinot grigio with the most flirtatious fine bean that dances over the palate. Crisp, dry yet flavoursome, a great way to start the day.
Poderi Crisci Ombra – An exciting Sparkling Rose with a fine yeasty, fresh bakery character reminiscent of Champagne. Floral nose contains hints of wild strawberry, peach nectarine and cassis. On the Palate, fine beads, very refreshing dry aperitif style. Wild Blackberry and Peachy with a great mouth feel and good length.
Poderi Crisci Rose (Merlot Predominant) – A great example of a Merlot Bianco style wine in the fashion of the southern French and Italian Roses. From Merlot grapes, the Rose displays light summer fruits with a flinty earthy character. The Salmon blush hints at the body, light and playful, a fresh lively Rosé, with a great structure with a very refreshing palate, dry style with a lingering fresh finish to stand up to all great summer luncheons. .
Poderi Crisci Pinot Grigio – Subtle pale straw with mineral notes, pear, quince and honeydew melon on the nose. Hints of roses and Turkish delight starting to come through but still hidden by flinty minerality. Quite rich but also very focused, more pinot grigio floral character on the palate wixed with orange zest. Good mineral drive on the finish.
Poderi Crisci Arneis – Poderi Crisci proudly lines up against a select group of NZ vineyards producing this exciting and cheeky variety from the Piemonte region in the north of Italy. Arneis is a colloquial term, translating to “Little Rascal”, a wine that exhibits intense citrus notes with apple, pear and vanilla in a bone dry style. A refreshing wine that is best enjoyed with delicate seafoods, sunshine, and company. Poderi Crisci is currently producing the only Waiheke grown Arneis.
Poderi Crisci Chardonnay – An elegant Chardonnay with a flirtatious light straw colour. Incredibly complex, flinty nose offering hints of freshly grilled nuts (almond) and marzipan alongside zests of citrus fruits.. A very finely structured wine with a good drive leading into a great lingering finish. An unmistakable Burgundian style Chardonnay.
Poderi Crisci “Viburno” (Merlot / Cabernet Franc / Montepulciano) – The Viburno exhibits a strength of flavor and aging potential, with more subtle tannins flirting with the palate. Intense dark fruits, leather and spicy notes are balanced with a smooth body and elegant full mouth feel. A special wine that is best appreciated with lamb and beef, but equally comfortable with a robust pasta.
Poderi Crisci Merlot Riserva (Merlot 100%) – The Merlot Riserva, offers a very concentrated, intense nose, full of black fruit and cigar box with leather and burnt cocoa, showing great Merlot concentration. An equally rich palate offers ripe black berry and also cherries, cigar box fine cedary tannins and chocolate, cocoa after taste, very big wine with great elegance. A very refined and balanced Merlot with great aging potential.
Poderi Crisci Montepulciano – A very well balanced wine offering leather, berry and rosemary notes on the nose. The palate is smooth, refined and complex offering lots of earthy dark berry notes, a hint of cinnamon and spices compliment the silken tannins leading to a long, pleasant off dry finish. Wild mushrooms and anise compliment the medium mouth feel the wine has to offer.
Poderi Crisci Syrah – The Poderi Crisci Syrah is an unmistakable Burgundian style Syrah, exhibiting smooth cigar box and cedar wood notes on the nose. A silken dark plum and cherry on the palate followed by a finish laden with spice, pepper and liquorice combine to make this wine attractive to a wide audience and leaves a lasting impression.
Agrumetto (375ml) – Citrus liqueur produced from fresh Waiheke Citrus fruits. in an artisan method with traditional family recipe from Napoli.
AcquaVite (375ml) – Produced from selected grapes, a more refined digestive than traditional Grappa due to the method of production. Very intense cinnamon and spice characteristics.

Perfect with lamb. It’s rich, velvet and soft with aromas of black doris plums, morello cherries and a whiff of cigar box. Subtle, fine-grained tannins. Good value.
I have been meaning to thank you all very much for such a super lunch a few weeks ago!! Don’t worry – you will not see us for a while! A few of my friends are so excited to try this place- and am sure they will.Thank you once again!

So, once again thank you, a memorable lunch, a great team, we cannot wait to return. Our recommendation is assured.

You can’t find a better experience
Looking for the perfect place for a long lazy lunch, with spectacular food, wine, setting and service…….then you need to head to Poderi Crisci. Such a fabulous way to celebrate my birthday . James and his team gave our party of 17 an outstanding personal experience whilst also having a full restaurant. You will not be disappointed!

Italian Experience at its Finest
Starting with the waiter we felt we had been transported to Italy for our Sunday lunch
This was a wet day in Waiheke but we managed to have a walk around the gorgeous gardens and take in the view of the vineyard
This was a four hour five course lunch which was delicious
Top main is the beef
Tiramisu is the finest I’ve had
Wines were great and we took a couple of bottles away as souvenirs
Merlot-based blend with good weight and strong, ripe, plummy, spicy flavours, showing good complexity. Already highly enjoyable.
***** Review Trip Advisor Valentine’s Day 2018
I came to Poderi as a table of 6 for a valentines day lunch, we wanted to show around some guests visiting from the UK, and it did not disappoint, it was absolutely beautiful we had about 4 courses and all were to die for, wine matches were on point and the setting is absolutely gorgeous.The staff are wonderful and we were very well taken care of. We will be back.
***** Trip Advisor January 2018
WORLDCLASS MAGICAL AND DELICIOUS
I was lucky enough to have a booking over the peak holiday period. The venue was at capacity but still had an intimate, personable sense that you were sitting in your own personal paradise. The Italian owner has managed to evolve a scene that transports you somewhere to iconic parts of Tuscany or Provence, but still so Waiheke! The service was impeccable and the food to die for…..with the bonus that you lived to be glad that you’re alive to experience such scenic and gourmet enchantment. Go there if you can!
***** Trip Advisor December 2017
Perfect and delicious example of the Long Italian Lunch
At a huge farmhouse table our party of 18 members of the extended family enjoyed the most extraordinary array of exquisite dishes that seemed to never end. No dish was huge or heavy – it was possible to comfortably complete the meal, despite the multitude of courses. Yellowfin tuna with artichokes; “simple” breads with light and peppery olive oil; lamb chops with aubergine-stuffed potatoes; an amusing but delicious version of tiramisu… this was not even half of the list. And the wine complements were inspired.
Of course I have eaten Italian food in many restaurants in many countries, including Italy, but this felt more authentic. After our relaxing sojourn, we felt like we had truly experienced a fine example of a Long Italian Lunch.
It’s not often that I find myself writing a letter to the owner of a restaurant and I am not a food critic by trade (although I’d love to be). I do, however, have the fortune of travelling the world on business and have the wonderful privilege of dining in some truly remarkable restaurants. Poderi Crisci on Waiheke is one of those that are of particular remark. My partner and I visited for a long lunch on Sunday and were treated to the absolute gastronomic adventure, which is, Poderi Crisci. The uncomplicated nature of both the food and environment with the touch of indulgence and flare is a true point of differentiation and I wish you all the success in future. We are so glad we visited and will no doubt be back soon!

Thank you for all you did to make Lee & Jacqui’s wedding such a wonderful occasion. The setting, the wine, the food & the service were all excellent – I couldn’t have asked for better for my daughter’s wedding. Did you arrange the perfect weather too? Please pass on to your staff my thanks for their attentive & friendly service & the delicious food they prepared. With all good wishes – Jeanette
Hi Mike and Antonio,
I hope this e-mail finds you both well. Hamish and I would like to thank you for hosting our wedding. As you know, we had the most wonderful day. It was perfect. The venue is magical, you should both be very proud of what you have achieved as I don’t think there is anything like Poderi Crisci, anywhere. All our guests are still raving about the whole day. A lot of them had never been to Waiheke so they had no idea what to expect. It’s safe to say they were all blown away. We are so grateful to Mike for being the ultimate host, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. If there were dramas behind the scenes, we didn’t see them! Also, thank you Mike for responding to the endless e-mails, it is difficult to organise a wedding from Overseas but you made it easy. Thank you Antonio for the food. We choose Poderi Crisci for two reasons, the first, the location, however, the main reason we chose Poderi Crisci was due to Antonio’s reputation for food. We weren’t disappointed. The food was impeccable – the most common compliment we have received from our guests has been about the food, I don’t think anyone has had food like that before at a wedding. Particularly at a wedding catering for 100 plus people. We can’t wait to come back and have a nice long lunch! we look forward to seeing you both again soon. Cheers Fran and Hamish
