Kumeu River
The story of Kumeu River Wines began in the 1930s, with the first generation of the Brajkovich family to arrive in New Zealand from Croatia. After a few years of working in the gum fields, the family moved to West Auckland, where they worked in local vineyards and orchards, eventually purchasing what would become Kumeu River Wines in 1944. Today, the winery is one of New Zealand’s best and the Brajkovichs are internationally recognized for their world-class wines.
