About Us
A neighbourhood restaurant with a national conscience
Our Story
Harbour & Vine opened in 2019 on Auckland's Viaduct Harbour with a clear vision: create a dining room where the quality of local ingredients speaks for itself, without unnecessary fuss.
Head Chef James Whitaker grew up on a Canterbury farm before training in Wellington and London. He returned to Aotearoa with a deep respect for seasonal cooking and a network of growers, fishers, and winemakers who share his values.
Today our team of 28 brings together hospitality professionals from across New Zealand and the Pacific — united by a commitment to sustainability, community, and the distinctive flavours of our region.
What we stand for
- Sourcing at least 85% of produce from New Zealand suppliers
- Seasonal menus refreshed four times a year
- Minimal food waste through careful planning and composting
- Supporting Marlborough, Central Otago, and Hawke's Bay wine regions
- Welcoming all guests with warm, unpretentious service
From garden to plate
Our rooftop herb garden supplies fresh garnishes daily, reducing packaging and food miles.
