Volume 4 of our Jazz Series is here! 🎺🍷
On September 18th, we’re welcoming back the iconic Carnivorous Plant Society to Casita Miro.
Fresh off a massive 21-date “mega tour” in July following their latest EP drop, the band is tighter than ever. Bassist Cass Basil and drummer Alistair Deverick never quite know what new masterpiece maestro Finn Scholes will bring to rehearsal, but it’s always magic and you get to hear it live.
🎟 Spots are limited! Tap the link in our bio to reserve your table.

The shelves are officially restocked! 🍊✨
If you know our founder, Cat, you know about her lifelong love affair with marmalade. Naturally, making our own batch for Casita Miro was non-negotiable!
This batch is particularly special. It features a pinch of love from Cat’s own garden, combined with a mountain of incredible, sun-drenched Seville oranges from Twisted Citrus - Orchard Fresh Fruit in Gisborne. Grown in Gisborne’s famously rich silt-loam soil, these handpicked Sevilles carry that perfect, intense bitter-sweet balance and high pectin depth that turns a good marmalade into an unforgettable one.
Come grab a jar on your next visit to take a slice of the Casita Miro kitchen home with you. Perfect on warm crusty bread, paired with cheese, or simply eaten off the spoon (we won’t judge).
Jars are limited, so pop in and grab yours before they disappear!
📍Available now in our shop, in our online store, and at R A W F O O D M A R K E T and The Island Grocer

The first vermouth ever made on Waiheke Island.🍷
Inspired by the traditional vermouths of Spain, Casita Miro Vermut is made from Miro wine using Waiheke-grown grapes and infused with a blend of botanicals including chamomile, bay leaf, orange, lemon, pink peppercorns, wormwood, gentian and juniper, with a touch of island-roasted coffee.
Bright and aromatic, with fresh citrus, fragrant herbs and subtle floral notes, the palate balances orange and lemon with earthy bitterness, gentle spice and a delicate roasted finish.
Spanish in spirit, unmistakably Waiheke. Enjoy chilled over ice with a slice of orange, or mix into a Negroni with Casita Miro Gin. 🍊
Available at Casita Miro restaurant, our online store and selected outlets soon💃

Did you know Casita Miro has a Pinot Noir? 🍷✨
Happy International Pinot Noir Day!
Obviously, Waiheke is too warm for our beautiful Pinot Noir grapes, so we brought exceptional cool-climate grapes all the way up from Martinborough to craft this wine right here on the island.
It’s usually a bottle-only exclusive, but to celebrate Pinot Day, we’re doing a special by-the-glass pour at the restaurant!
Light, elegant, and packed with bright red fruit, this hidden gem won’t be open by the glass for long. Drop by for a taste, or grab a bottle to take home.
Have you tried our Martinborough-grown, Waiheke-made Pinot yet? Let us know below! 👇
