Our venue at Mora Wines & Artisan Kitchen is a historic cottage with deep roots in the Arrowtown community. Known as Walnut Cottage — named after the grand walnut tree that greets you at the gate — it now houses our restaurant and cellar door, surrounded by mature gardens and seasonal beauty.
With lush garden surrounds and a heated outdoor area that transforms with the seasons — from sun-soaked afternoons to cosy winter gatherings — Mora offers a setting that’s as welcoming as it is elegant.
Step inside and you’ll find warmth, character, and cosy corners that invite guests to feast, toast, and linger a little longer — no matter the season.
Whether you are planning a small celebration, corporate function, or a larger milestone event, Mora offers a versatile space designed to adapt effortlessly to each occasion. Our menus are inspired by seasonal produce and crafted to showcase bold, honest flavours, thoughtfully paired with our Bannockburn and Pisa Valley wines.
From relaxed long lunches to elegant evening gatherings, our team brings a warm, hands-on approach to every event. At Mora, we don’t simply host—we create experiences that feel personal, memorable, and distinctly yours.
