The Spirit of Hospitality
An ancient practice... steeped in meaning
In the Maori culture, which is indigenous and unique to Aotearoa - New Zealand, the concept of ‘Koha’ is about the shared trust and respect between host and guest. Traditionally this related to visiting a marae (traditional Maori meeting house).
Today, if you’re attending a BBQ or dinner party at someone’s home, you might ‘koha’ a small gift or bring a plate of food to share. The concept is also used when attending community events, concerts, and art shows, where entry by ‘koha’ means to give what you can.
It’s a powerful, ancient practice, that we are proud to share through the Koha range of wines. Together, let’s bring the spirit of hospitality, to life!
