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.

Our aim is to select and offer you great value, quality wines, beers and spirits to complement our daily lives. We will deliver direct to your home with a delivery service and guarantee of quality or a money back guarantee.

The La Vino team will continue to support all small Artisan Wineries to supply us so we can support and maintain this heritage.  As well we believe that we should also enjoy the best wines of the world and we will always be on the scout for great wines at a great price.
