I've been to Mudbrick a couple of times before, but it was always raining and I couldn't fully enjoy the views or the beautiful grounds. This visit was completely different-the skies were clear, and the sunset views were absolutely out of this world. As the sun went down, the temperature dropped quite a bit. They do offer blankets, which is a nice touch, but I do wish they had outdoor heaters to make it even more comfortable. The staff were, as always, very welcoming and kind. This time we didn't dine--we just enjoyed cocktails and the breathtaking scenery. Definitely a place l'll be returning to again!
This is a must when coming to Waiheke Island... The Wine, The Food, The View!!! This place has it ALL...!!! Not to mention, if you want to have your wedding here, you can... You'll just need to put yourself on that 2-year list... That's how far in advance you'll need to book it, and dates go quick... So far, everyone we've come across that works there is super friendly... If you haven't already, try the port... It's named after the Marina you come in on from Auckland City, Matiatia!
Beautiful setting and the wine tasting was surburb. Walked around upon first arrival to see the property and it was amazing. The views were unbeatable and of course with the sun shining made for a lovely wine tasting. They were quite busy so sat inside for part of the tasting as I couldn't find a place to stand outside and set down my glasses. Went with the premium tasting which had 6 different wines being poured two at a time. Hence why the table was needed. The wines were tasty and the lady who poured gave good background on the vintage as well as the differences. Was surprised I liked the Merlot as much seeing I typically don't drink red. Recommend stopping in and next time will try so if the food as it looked good.
Mudbrick Vineyard and Restaurant Mudbrick is a cottage dream. The scenery alone is worth the trip, but the food takes it to another level. I ordered the salad leaves and the crudo of the day, which happened to be tuna, one of my favorites. The freshness and flavors were absolutely delicious. We sat outside in their front courtyard with arguably the best view of the water and Auckland Skyline. What a wonderful lunch and the beginning of a great day.
We stayed at Mudbrick Vineyards in the Olive Cottage, and it was truly one of the most charming and memorable experiences we've ever had. The cottage sits right in the middle of an active vineyard, surrounded by wildlife, with stunning views stretching all the way to Auckland in the distance. At night, the stars were breathtaking--such a romantic setting. The restaurant and tasting room were phenomenal, easily among the highlights of our trip. Everyone we met was warm and welcoming, especially Lee, the operations manager, who went out of his way to help us when we first arrived. A few tips: bring a set of binoculars to take in the views, make sure to book dinner at the restaurant, and don't miss the continental breakfast they deliver between 4 and 6 PM--it was fantastic. Also, we purchased a couple bottles of wine from the tasting room to enjoy in the cottage.. Overall, Mudbrick delivers an unforgettable mix of fine dining, natural beauty, and cozy luxury. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a romantic getaway. Between stand here and Delamore Lodge for the last couple days, both are just beautiful experiences and the hospitality is up there with the best places we've ever stayed.
Took one of the first ferries over to Waiheke island from downtown Auckland, and arrived at Mudbrick via the hop on hop off bus. Mudbrick is one of the first stops, and it set my expectations high. The grounds are beautiful with great views. Because I got there early, I had my choice of seating. I could see this area filling up quickly in the afternoons, so plan accordingly. I did the flagship tasting, which was $44 NZD. I don't know much about wines at all, but I enjoyed the red wine varietals over the white wine ones. The food sounded appetizing, but seemed to be on the more expensive end, so I opted to eat later. I wish this vineyard was my last stop, because I felt like the other ones didn't compare. I would definitely come back here if I'm lucky enough to find myself in New Zealand!
Beautiful winery with scenic views of the water, all the way to Auckland CBD! There are lots of outdoor areas to enjoy the wine at lined with cobble stones, lavender and comfy bean bags. I did the flag ship tasting for $44. They give you 2 at a time to walk around with which is a perfect way to enjoy both the grounds and the wine. I went to the archive for lunch where I ordered the gazpacho and the bok choy plate. Both were fresh and delicious!
Took a ferry ride over from Auckland and decided to try some local wine. Mudbrick is a beautiful property with amazing views of the city in the distance. Their wine are fantastic and we really enjoyed their Bordeaux style blends. We had a quick bite for lunch at the restaurant. They only had a limited menu for lunch but it was perfect because we weren't very hungry. The spicy squid was amazing. The fries and oysters were also delicious. Highly recommend visiting this place if you can.
Our last stop of the day on Waiheke Island was Mudbrick for dinner. When on vacation, we like having at least one "fancy" (ie expensive) dinner, and we chose Mudbrick. We had reservations for 6:30pm at the bistro (the main restaurant was unavailable for whatever reason), and I have no idea what the difference is between the bistro and restaurant, but the bistro was lovely. The food was absolutely AMAZING. My sister and I both had salmon and my husband had lamb and we all LOVED our meals. In addition to our entrees, we also had several drinks each (wine/cocktails) and one dessert. When we received the bill, we were shocked: it was only just over $300NZ. Yes, $300 is a lot, but for the amount of food and drink we ordered, and the QUALITY, it really wasn't that bad. (In Vancouver, one below average entree and two drinks can easily run you $60 or more!) In addition to the very reasonable price (which was far less than we were expecting), you aren't even expected to tip! However, the service was EXCELLENT, so we did tip, although not the ridiculous 20% you're required to tip in North America (this tipping nonsense has really got to stop). So with tax and tip, we paid $331.80NZ for a FANTASTIC dinner, with several drinks, for three people, which came to $285CAD. Not bad at all. Dinner at Mudbrick was the best meal I had on our trip and I highly recommend them. [Yelp collections: NZ/Fiji 2023; New Zealand 2023]
When in Auckland, take a ferry ride to Waiheke Island for some wine tasting if you don't have Marlborough on your itinerary. Or maybe you do and want to add some more tasting experiences, then I recommend adding Mudbrick Vineyard and Restaurant to your list. This is one of the first places that my husband and I ventured to during our honeymoon. We were ambitious, or I shall admit, I was ambitious in thinking that we could walk there from the ferry terminal on a warm summer day. The walk was nice. We got to see the houses on Waiheke and got to soak in some of the local life on the way there. It wasn't a challenging walk with inclines or hazards which was appreciated, but, I didn't factor in the strength of the summer sun. As a result, we arrived at the vineyard and restaurant sweaty, which is not always a good luck for wining and dining, lol. Therefore, if you have a chance, I would recommend getting to and from here by taxi as I don't recall it being accessible by bus. However, once you arrive, you can relax like we did, settle in and be welcomed by the lovely scenery on a beautiful, clear day. After cleaning and cooling off, we went straight for the Sauvignon Blanc. New Zealand is known for their Sauvignon Blanc so we went straight for it. Note: at this restaurant, for lunch, we did not have the option to order a la carte. The meal came in courses either 2 or 3. We ordered the 2 course set to give ourselves some space for dinner. I believe I ordered the seared salmon which paired perfectly with my Sauvignon Blanc for the first course. I then ordered their Venison Loin which paired perfectly with their recommended glass of Syrah and my husband and I shared their garden greens for some vegetables to round off our meal. He ordered lamb for his course. We were both extremely pleased with our meal. It was worth the walk and an amazing introduction to Waiheke Island. Our glasses of wine paired perfectly with our entrees and the best part of our experience was the view. I highly encourage you to book an outdoor table if you know ahead of time that the weather will be great and the skies will be clear. It's definitely worth it. The service was also excellent and our waiter was both knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend coming to Mudbrick Vineyard and Restaurant on your visit to Waiheke Island. It's a great way to soak it all in :)
Mudbrick is absolutely gorgeous! You really can't beat the views from here and this vineyard is one of the most stunning I've been to on the island. The landscaping is lovely and the ambiance is exactly what you want from a Waiheke vineyard. My friends and I did the wine tasting which is delish and lots of fun. Everyone working at the cellar door was so knowledgeable and friendly, we had such nice conversations with everyone who served us. While I cannot speak on the food since we only had wine, I can say the menu has variety and looks great. The great thing about Mudbrick is also that there are a couple places to walk around admire the vineyard and the views. The gardens are simply gorgeous. Great place and a must visit on the island! :)
From bare land & a dream in early 1992 to the first plantings and opening the Mudbrick Cafe in 1995, the Jones' grew with sweat, mud bricks and soil to the Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant. Tastings at Mudbrick are led by cellar masters, and our self guided tours were an excellent way to explore the grounds, gardens and vines. We learned about their history, vineyards and award-winning wines. All of the wines we tasted were delicious . We didn't have a reservation so we were seated at the archive wine bar. We shared a charcuterie board, 2 cheeses. We enjoyed our Sauvignon Blanc and a Casira Moro madam rouge with plums, figs, cherry flavors, a potent tanin and a long finish. Everything was exceptional, service was friendly, knowledgeable & attentive. The view and grounds were truly memorable. This was a splurge for lunch.

One of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever experienced was eating dinner at Mudbrick. The view is divine, and the garden feels so quaint and picturesque that I was completely wowed. It's nice coming here for the ambience alone! They have two or three course dining options and I went with the two course plus a bread order which ended up being the perfect amount of food. The dishes were surprisingly innovative for being a winery restaurant, and I really appreciated the pairings they suggested with each dish. I especially liked their Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot options. It's definitely pricey, but I am glad I got to try dinner here. Only catch is that it's quite difficult to get a car back home - we had dinner at 7:30 pm and it was a bit harrowing getting a taxi. The hotel will help call for you but our driver double booked himself for extra business so we stood outside almost half an hour in the dark. Regardless, the restaurant itself was great and worth the trip. read more

Beautiful scenery, well decorated space with exceptional service. The food was stunning as well as thoughtful and delicious. Would recommend for a special occasion or to celebrate life! read more
The view is stunning. We were a group of 5, we took the ferry over to Waiheke Island to go wine tasting and enjoy lunch. We didn't have a reservation, but it was no problem, we were still seated promptly. We had a stunning view. Our server was friendly, and happily repeated the daily specials 3 times. We were jet lagged- we had just flown in from sfo and had hit the ground running. We each started with a glass of wine while we decided. 1 friend ordered the lamb, 2 ordered the salmon, 2 ordered the ahi, I ordered the Jerusalem harvest. Thankfully a friend also asked for some fries for us to all share as well. Right after we had ordered the table next to us received their entrees- I wish I had ordered the ahi. My vegetables were bland and not very filling. Thankfully I had my friend's fries to munch on. My friends who ordered the salmon asked for it to be cooked medium- they said it still wasn't cooked enough for them. My friend who had the ahi said it was perfect- it did look perfect. The friend with the lamb said it was ok- but it was not the same lamb dish she had here the last time. It got more busy while we were here, and we weren't really checked back in on. We finally just asked for our check. When we asked to pay separately we were told they don't do that. My friend who had been here before said they let her do it last time. There was also an extra 15% surcharge on the bill for it being a holiday weekend that wasn't announced or printed on the menu. I don't think I would come back here again I didn't find the wine to be anything special. The food was bland, and left me hungry: The grounds were pretty. We enjoyed walking around and looking at the tea garden. There are other wineries on the island I like better. read more
You truly can't beat the views or the value when embarking on their wine tastings. We opted for the Tour of New Zealand, offering 2 Red and 2 White selections. They give you a bit of background regarding the origins as well as what to note as you taste. You're free to take each glass with you and wander the grounds, so we took a spot up on their rooftop bar, which offered views of the island, winery, as well as the water and even central Auckland in the distance. We'd hoped to be able to combine the tasting with a cheese pairing of sorts, but could only do so if sitting in their restaurant. * do note that their is no public transport, requiring either a hired taxi (no Uber) or a ~25 minute walk from the main road. read more

We absolutely loved our visit to Mudbrick on our trip to New Zealand. In an afternoon, Mudbrick became one of our favorite wineries anywhere. The grounds are beautiful, and the view toward Aukland is spectacular. Enjoying the tasting outdoors was a treat. Merlot is not one of my top five varietals, but the merlot from the Mudbrick vineyards on Waiheke was outstanding -- flavor of ripe black currents. We're looking forward to a return visit. read more

Easily one of the best, if not THE best, vineyard and restaurant on Waiheke. Mudbrick has the best view from all the restaurants from the high end restaurant to their bistros and upstairs seating area. If it's clear enough, you can even see the sky tower in Auckland. I'd recommend checking for sunset time and making reservations near then, the sunset you'll see is amazing. If the views/vibes/aesthetic isn't enough to bring you here, the food will be. I've been to both the restaurant and the bistro and they're both really impressive. If you get the opportunity, eat at the high end restaurant. Ingredients are fresh. Servers are attentive. Someone came out at every single course and explained all dishes to us. Complimentary amuse-bouche of kiwi (not kiwi fruit, but kiwi like New Zealand native) steak and Parmesan cheese was served first, I wish I had more! Valentine's special was a seafood paella with squid ink, served in a sea urchin (uni) shell was so rich and addictive! Scallop crudo was perfect. Seared salmon was to die for, skin was so crisp, seared so perfectly, and the sauces + fish + veggies complimented each other so well. Wild Wapiti Sirloin (venison) was amazing, no gamey flavor whatsoever. The market fish was also really good. Ordered a side of roast agria (potatos) and they even included purple potatos which I loved! If you have room for dessert, absolutely get the Mille Feuille. The best dessert on the menu! We tried to chocolate which was served with lilikoi/passion fruit sauce, they really complimented and balanced each other- the sweetness of the chocolate and tanginess of the lilikoi- amazing! Melon was underwhelming, it was literally a lemon with a small portion of ice cream and candied japaleno- we had a good laugh about this. Again, get the Mille Feuille, you won't regret it. read more

Delightful experience and a must try if you are visiting the island. They have two restaurants here. One is a casual bistro style and one is a more formal style. I heard that they both have great views and food, but we decided to eat at the bistro because we wanted something casual (plus it sounded cheaper). We ordered the just entrees (appetizers) for our dinner. We got the braised octopus ($26 NZD), cinnamon braised goat ($26 NZD), and makikihi fries ($10 NZD). All dishes were amazing with unique flavors. With the makikihi fries, we were both very happy and satisfied. The view from the Bistro is nice. Hopefully you can get a nice window seat or sit outside. They have busses going to and from here. If you decide to take a taxi instead, expect to pay a bit more. Although they take reservations, it wasn't really needed for us at the Bistro. With this said though, we came on a week day during the evening. read more

My wife said that this is the best Focaccia bread that she has had in her entire life. She grew up in New York and also has traveled around Europe a lot so I was shocked when she said this. We also got the lamb for two which was a huge amount of food and delicious. The red wine that the waiter recommended was also really nice. I would recommend making a reservation in advance for sunset. It was beautiful watching all the different colors light up the sky over Auckland and the water. We rented our car from Waiheke Motors and picked it up right at the ferry terminal. I'd recommend doing this over the tour buses and public buses because you are in control of your own time schedule. Also it is way better than biking because you will be covered in dust and it was so hot walking around in the summer time. Only regret was not staying on the island in a hotel for 2 days. We had to cram in 6 wineries into one day - they were all great! If you only have one day then try to hop on the 8am ferry from Auckland because the ferry lines get packed after 9am. Here was our schedule: Man O' War - Wine Tasting Passage Rock - Wine Tasting and Pizza Lunch Casita Miro - Wine Tasting Stoney Ridge - Wine Tasting/Nap on the lawn Batch - Wine Tasting Mudbrick - Sunset Dinner read more

The views are breathtaking! Words cannot describe the panoramic splendor. Not only are there 2 award winning restaurants and exceptional on property, there's also lodging accommodations for special occasions if booked far enough in advance! A definite itinerary stop if you're a wine lover and are in the Auckland area! read more
We were exploring Waiheke on a day trip from Auckland and decided to have lunch at the Bistro. We made reservations (just in case) on the ferry ride over for a 12:15 lunch and arrived right on time. We were able to get a nice table outside looking off over the sea. You could even see most of the way to Auckland since they are located on a great high spot. The Bistro menu isn't huge and many of the items seemed a bit more substantial than we were looking for at lunch so we ended up selecting their anti pasta platter (NZ$75) and a couple of glasses of wine which was the perfect lunch on a bright and sunny day. The platter was loaded with meat, cheese, bread, olives and even some chili marinated shrimp and was just right for two. While we didn't take the time to do a wine tasting, we did enjoy both the Pinot Gris and a glass of Rose with our platter. The view alone across the harbor to Auckland is reason enough to stop in for lunch, and the quality food and drink deals the deal. Recommended read more

We had the best experience at Mudbrick! Service was absolutely wonderful and the food was delicious! I had the best oysters, lamb and scallop crudo in my life here. It's our 3rd day in NZ and it was the best meal we've had so far! Waitress gave us complementary bubbles when she found out we're on our honeymoon! So sweet! We also got window seats overlooking the vineyard and it was absolutely beautiful! The place was very clean, classy and romantic atmosphere! They played a couple songs I played at my wedding so it was such a nice pleasant surprise. read more

My favorite stop in Waiheke Island and an amazing place to spend a few hours!! $10 for a wine tasting.. doesn't get much better than that. Absolutely love their Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. Staff were all warm and friendly as well. I came with a large group and they gave a great table outside to enjoy the warm weather and soak in the incredible views. read more

Wow, what an experience. After a day of popping in to other vineyards for tastings, THIS is the experience we were looking for. We had a tasting in the cellar followed by dinner up at the restaurant. The wines were exceptional and the views were unmatched. It was such a beautiful romantic setting as we watched the sun set during our meal. The food was delicious as well. This absolutely is a 'must do' experience while visiting Waiheke Island. read more
Decided to wine down the day at this beautiful vineyard. The views are breathtaking. There are clear views to Auckland. Stopped in to have a few more oysters but they sold out!! So went straight to dessert!! Ordered Big chocolate cheesecake 72% chocolate orange news roasted white chocolate ice cream and also sticky ginger bread with butter scotch saffron pear orange and ginger ice cream. What two great desserts to end the day!! All I can say is WOW! read more
