The WineKitchen is an independent winery restaurant on Hammerichs Road in Springlands, Blenheim, in the Marlborough wine region. It sits among established gardens within a family-owned organic vineyard.
The food is produce-focused, with a menu that changes daily depending on availability. The wine list combines New Zealand producers with international classics.
The restaurant is run by Alain Hauswirth, who was born in Bern, Switzerland, is classically trained and has lived in Marlborough for 25 years. His website says he previously founded Le Cafe, Figaros and the Burleigh Dairy, and taught for several years at the Ara Institute of Technology. The WineKitchen is described as his passion project.
The website lists winter lunch service from Wednesday to Saturday and says same-day bookings are taken by phone. Private dining is available on request, but no capacities or formats are published, so these would need to be confirmed directly. No awards are listed on the site.
