Vin de Tahiti Winery
Domaine Dominique Auroy – Vin de Tahiti
One of the few coral-atoll vineyards in the world, where grapes grow among coconut palms to make 'Tahitian wine'. Tours and tastings are available.
The Tahitian winery began experimental grape planting on Rangiroa in the 1990s. The vineyard sits on a small islet by the lagoon and is grown in coral sand. The hot climate lets the grapes be harvested twice a year, producing white wine, rosé and dessert wine. It is a one-of-a-kind atoll wine in the world. In Avatoru the winery has a cellar shop, and tastings are offered. Some tastings require a boat trip to the vineyard and must be booked in advance. Production is small and prices are high, making it a distinctive souvenir from the island.
