The Tasting Shed on Postcard

"Given the Tasting Shed's close proximity to some of the best vineyards of the West Auckland wine region, it follows that the restaurant's menu incorporates flavors, from Asia and across the Mediterranean, that arethe perfect foil to its excellent regional varietals. Standout dishes served in the restaurant's rustic but stylish dining room—the tables were crafted from Indonesian fishing boats—include fiery Assam-style stingray infused with the tropical heat of Malaysia, and New Zealand lamb shoulder served with tahini and walnuts. Visit in summer to enjoy the relaxed ambience of the shared tables in the restaurant's garden, and you'll probably meet a few savvy food-loving locals from Auckland. Wines to try include Maté's Vineyard chardonnay, from nearby Kumeu River; craft beers from Riverhead's Hallertau Brewery are also on tap."

I was here with my friend for lunch. I must say, the staff was very friendly and had good customer service skills. The ambience was great. They had good selection of wines and the food was amazing. It was a fusion style cuisine and was delicious. The presentation was good too. It was a good experience. I would highly recommend them and would definitely visit them again! :) Cheers

Incredible food and super friendly service. Best dinner I have had out in a long time. I ate way too much (and I knew it at the time) but I just couldn’t stop eating because it was so delicious. We had had Gnocchi, Lamb Shoulder, Beetroot with Goats Cheese and Bread (even the bread was out of this world!) Will definitely be back.

Very nice environment, very hard to get a table if you don't book ahead. The food taste very good, can be a little pricey, but acceptable. I like it how it's designed to be shared, so if you go with a couple of friends you can try a lot of different dishes.

Valentine's dinner impressions. Is nice to be out for a change and enjoy well presented whitty food with a twist of the unusual. Yummy. Just really need to keep the gluten stuff separate from the other stuff when presenting on a shared plate for a gluten free guest.

This place never disappoints. Well thought out and executed dishes, super flavourful. Service is attentive and kind. It’s 100% worth the drive out to Kumeu. Go with a couple of friends so you can try a bit of everything.

Excellent service and atmosphere. Loved the wine and drinks. A bit overpriced, we felt 36$ for a small cheese platter (3 cheeses ) was a bit rough, sorry! But quality of food good.
