About Us
Our Story
A California girl meets a Kiwi guy and what they share is a love of geology and wine. They met on Waiheke Island in New Zealand while Sam was there to complete a harvest abroad, they instantly connected and the rest was history. The two decided to embark on making their own wine in the fall of 2019 with the creation of Tectonic Wines. With over 20 years of winemaking experience and 3 degrees between them they thought that they would give it a go. The story of how each unique growing site contributes to each wine is what gave them the idea to connect their love of site to wine. What you'll experience in Tectonic Wines is the truth and honesty of the vintage and the skills of the winemakers. We hope to deliver you a unique and exciting experience in enjoying our wines.
