Mudbrick Vineyard
One of the original vineyards on Waiheke, Mudbrick has a rich history, fine food & wine and spectacular views back to Auckland City. When flying over to Waiheke you dine in The Mudbrick Restaurant. The food will not disappoint as it showcases the best producers in Aotearoa and elements from their own garden. If you have time before/after lunch you can pop next door to the cellar door for a wine tasting or visit the Archive Bar & Bistro for a spicy margarita. Only 5 minutes drive from Matiatia Wharf, our team love booking customers in here as everyone out with a huge grin.
Stonyridge Vineyard
Known for their delicious Bordeaux style red wines, Stonyridge is a crowd favourite for its relaxed restaurant with vineyard views that will have you feeling as though you are in the South of France. Stonyridge is located near the centre of Waiheke Island and conveniently in walking distance of Tantalus Estate, Te Motu, Wild on Waiheke and The Heke. Stonyridge is a favourite with our private helicopter owners.
Tantalus Estate
The ‘new kid on the block’ Tantalus Estate raised the bar on Waiheke when it comes to fine food and service. The elegant restaurant looks over the botanical gardens and vines and if that wasn’t enough you can pop down to the Alibi Brewers Lounge below the restaurant for a beer (or espresso martini) after lunch. A number of our team have had birthday & anniversary lunches at Tantalus and it is truly exceptional.
Poderi Crisci
Want to be transported to Italy? Poderi Crisci is one of Waiheke’s best kept secrets (not anymore). Explore the gardens and enjoy Italian al Fresco dining all year round at this family owned vineyard and restaurant in a stunning location: perfect for a casual lunch, family gathering or romantic dinner.
