Overlooking the historic South Quad of the Christchurch Arts Centre, Cellar Door is an award-winning wine bar with an all-day menu to match.

Wine Bar

Local and international wines by the taste, by the glass & by the bottle; local craft beer; gin; whisky and more.

A large number of wines are available by the taste, glass and bottle, from a collection of other great wines and vintages from Canterbury, New Zealand and the World.

We also have an ever-changing selection of local craft beer, gins, aperitifs, digestifs, whisky, and low-and-no-alcohol options

We’re open from 12pm, 7 days a week, for drinks and dining.

Reservations are essential.

Wine Tasting

Curated wine tasting “flights” show region, variety, winemaking style, etc.

In the world of wine, the term ‘flight’ means a set of different wines to try alongside each other for comparison. 

We have curated over a dozen ‘flights’, each showing differences in winemaking style, grape variety, regionality, and other themes. Each flight is four x 40ml tastes, together little more than a normal glass of wine.

We serve our flights at the table, and have a menu of wine-friendly dishes to enjoy alongside.

Wine & Food 

An all-day menu of snacks, classical wine-friendly dishes, desserts and cheeses.

Our food offering is designed to suit a quick drink and a snack through to a full dining experience, and everything in between. We focus on classical accompaniments to wine, using fresh, seasonal, local ingredients.
