Somm spaces
Somm's interior is punctuated with materials traditionally found in New Zealand's prestigious winery regions. Timber in walnut oak, earthy stone and clay tiles ground the space, giving a subtle nod to the provenance of the wines it's showcasing. It's rusticism with a sleek refined edge.
We offer multiple areas suitable for events ranging from 20 to 200 people. Swipe through the spaces below, or download our function pack to view the spaces and floor plan to see which space or combination of spaces best suits your event.
