Reviews of Villa Maria Gimblett Gravels (Formerly Te Awa)
B.We came here for lunch, rather than specifically stopping for a tasting, after a recommendation. We were not disappointed. We went with the small plates to share between my wife and I. The local produce and tastes, as well as the obvious time, care and skill that went into the preparation was fantastic. There was a kids menu, but even that was taken to the next level. My son's nuggets even looked and tasted incredible. If you are able to make lunch here, and you like the small plates, many tastes mean style, then it is well worth it.
We only tried some of the wines, so I can't speak to those with any accuracy.
R.Not sure where the people giving this low ratings went - our experience was first rate. The food is outstanding - the best in Hawke's Bay, great ingredients, original concepts and beautifully prepared and presented.
As a general rule a booking at a popular place like this is a good idea and if you haven't booked make sure to get someones attention as soon as you arrive - not difficult.
Also the menu is actually very easy and not that different to when we had lunch here 8 and 12 months ago. If you're a foodie, this is the place to go.
R.The tasting menu declares that the team are friendly and they do not disappoint. This winery offers an absolutely chilled, warm and welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed our time wine tasting at Te Awa not only because of the gorgeous setting under the trees but also due to the down to earth team who made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend coming here as part of your wine tasting tour of Hawkes Bay. Ps the wine selection is wide and tastes amazing.
D.Wonderful venue, amazing food and the most hospitable staff - fantastic!
E.I had the most amazing lunch here a couple of weeks ago. Not only was the food delicious but the service was excellent and that makes all the difference. I love all the small plates on the menu but on this occasion we had 2 of the large plates, the fish and the chicken and had to have the crunchy potatoes to accompany them. Delicious.
G.Went here again last weekend. As usual, the food and service was phenomenal. They had a wedding starting later in the afternoon but all was made clear when we booked and when we arrived. The menu follows a constant sharing plates formula but always with a few exciting seasonal twists. It's a joy to eat here and the charcoal ribeye with smoked bone marrow was to die for.
C.My wife and I had one of the better lunches we have had. Everything at Te Awa restaurant was excellent. From the very friendly staff to the dishes and the wine. The ’True Earth’ carrots were amazing. Overall the dishes were of a really high standard with tastes that really was to our liking. So the lunch took three hours...;-)

G.Very polite and friendly staff who made us feel welcome. Tasted more than 5 different wines for 5 dollars per head. My wife and I bought a chardonnay worth 25 dollars and our tasting charges of 10 dollars were waived.
Will definitely recommend.
R.Walked in looking for lunch and a wine tasting. Restaurant staff were short with us as they were fully booked for lunch and were dismissive of our group immediately after. We politely waited for a tasting instead, with no further interaction from front staff.
Sober drivers tried to order beverages while we were tasting and were directed to different staff members and then directed to wait by a member of staff who was busy with her phone. No further service was provided which is the biggest downer. Front staff were not chaotic as bookings had yet to arrive, so it killed the experience.
Tasting was ok, staff confused our 4 tastings for 6, but it was super busy. More disappointing was the lack of tasting available due to low stock (it was New Year’s Eve). We bought a case in the end but we only bought what we could taste which was limited.
H.We arrived at Te Awa without a booking today and we were very pleased to be shown a table. We have a limited diet and the restaurant was able to cater to our restrictions without any need of adjustments. The slow cooked lamb with a parsley and cumin salsa was delicious as was the accompanying glass of syrah. The service was friendly and helpful. We will return.
F.Beautiful place, especially on a sunny day. Great wine and food! Space and games for children.
R.Perfect brunch to finish our Hawkes Bay tour. Absolutely sensational Sampler menu and highly knowledgeable team to talk you through their wine and food. Full credit to the chef for the well balanced flavours and superb attention to detail with every single dish.
j.Had a great grazing dish and the best Pinot Noir I've ever tasted. We will be back.
V.Beautiful setting, impeccable service and incredible wine and food. Absolutely loved our experience.
Thankyou
K.One of the best wine tasting in New Zealand...and we did a lot.. 🍷😊 Awesome wines and staff with real knowledge. Thanks Peter for your hospitality and great experience.. 😊 We just loved it.
L.Nice tasting, but the wines are unfortunately not our favourites. The lunch was very delicious, we had the ox cheek incl. veggies for $42.
M.Came here for lunch to treat myself, everything about the meal and wine was terrific. Genuinely impressed by the cuisine, beautiful location, and great service.
E.Beautiful location but staff seemed stretched which led to poor service and us walking out to go across the road to Trinity. We came back later in the afternoon and were served straight away and had a pleasant glass of red and some food.
W.Outstanding food which was reasonably priced given the quality, and excellent wines. No clue why this would be rated anything less than 5 stars
L.Lovely, great service and platters where put together well and were delicious!!
M.Had a nice time with our family. Nice wines, food and service. Beautiful vibe for children under the trees.
L.We had a beautiful lumch and wine

I'll be back
Cheers Liz Davis

Great winery with friendly and professional staff. The wine tasting process was great, the staff explained very carefully, the food is super delicious, and it is worth the fare! I also bought two bottles of wine and finished one bottle that night.
