The History of La Vino
La Vino Wines & Spirits began its life as one of many of the vineyards of West Auckland nurtured by Croatian immigrants from the early 20’s. They brought their winemaking skills with them first heading North to dig Kauri gum then to the land where they worked hard in developing many wineries and wine stores which later sprang up, selling their wines originally for “Medicinal Purposes” through many means like from old Model T Fords. They sold from cellar doors, on the road and small wine shops. The Winemakers often delivered personally across the country in delivery vans to the far reaches of our country we proudly call Aotearoa.

Today La Vino is a Fine Wine Website only supplying wine direct to your home or business by the case and is dedicated to these pioneers and will continue the tradition of enjoying fine wine in the home environment.
