(53.1 kms from Zita Ave) 40 Omaha Flats Road, Matakana, Auckland 0986, New Zealand
The hundreds of works on display in its Gardens and Galleries have been chosen to amuse, inspire and stimulate. They are a mix of colour, whimsy and wonder.
“Fun, engaging & idiosyncratic ...and very beautifully done. I suspect anyone expecting 'great art' might come away a little disappointed... but it seems that's rather the point ! There is great art here... but there's also a dedication to Steve Job's vision, a Polar Bear made of dishwashers, and rabbits (real live ones). & a whole load of other fun & engaging stuff besides, all in a rather wonderful setting. I'd love to take the tour with the creator, Anthony Grant, next time, as it's clearly a rather personal 'labour of love' ; for myself, I'm grateful that he's had the determination & vision to bring this to life”

Ascension is a beautiful vineyard in Matakana just 40 minutes north of Auckland. With our own rustic cellar door and restaurant we are the perfect location for wine tasting and lunch. We also host stunning weddings and stylish corporate events in the Belfry our fully self contained Function Centre. Life is too short to drink boring wine! Our philosophy has evolved to craft small quantities of distinctive, terroir-driven wines from both traditional and very unusual varieties. Expensive techniques regarded as "special" by many wineries, such as cane pruning, extensive leaf plucking, crop thinning and hand harvesting, are standard here. We make small batches of our handcrafted wines, which you can only buy through our cellar door, restaurant or website. The best way to experience Ascension is to visit us! We look forward to sharing Ascension with you because it is not just a business for us. It's our life.
