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.

We offer a curated selection of Mora wines, with a focus on showcasing the best of Central Otago — including our signature Pinot Noirs, vibrant whites, and elegant sparkling Brut. From pre-ceremony pours to birthday toasts, our wines are designed to elevate every moment. We also serve a range of signature and seasonal cocktails, local craft beers, and non-alcoholic options. Tailored packages available on request.
