This lovely winery at the beach on Man O' War Bay is rather out of the way, accessed by a long gravel road - very dusty. However, the trek is worth it because the setting is lovely and the wine, honey and olive oil they have to offer is GORGEOUS! There is a cafe - we didn't eat but ran into some people we kew so were chatting with them while they ate. I think I coud say that I wouldn't choose this for my lunch place on the island but the total experience is certainly very worth the drive. It's a good thing to combine with an expedition to Stoney Batter as it's on the same out of the way end of the island. Lovely.

Picture perfect: you want an incredible setting with panoramic view of Harbour back to the city, high quality accommodation with attention to detail, great food, friendly staff, fun wine tasting experience that went on for hours and top it off with a private spa to end the evening, then the cottage stay package at Mudbirck is hard to beat. An exception way to celebrate our 20th anniversary - may have to make it an annual event

This winery has a wonderful vibe - the wine is delicious and the rolling hills provide the perfect backdrop for some afternoon drinking. The waitress was extremely friendly and personable. I would highly recommend this spot!

The newest edition to Auckland’s vineyard destinations has been honored with international accolades for our estate-grown wines, plus national awards in architecture and design, building craftsmanship, cuisine and dining. The idyllic sloping vineyards of the family owned Tantalus Estate are located in the heart of the Onetangi Valley - a gentle picturesque twenty-acre vineyard in Waiheke’s renowned wine growing region. Complete with olive groves, macadamia trees, an apiary, kitchen gardens, native trees and boardwalks, Tantalus Estate is a destination not to be missed.
Very cool place providing a home to a micro brewery underneath the restaurant and wine tasting area, I loved the ambience - fabulous light fittings, good wine and warm and welcoming surroundings. I really loved this place. I think one should spend the day here! Lovely gardens, views of the vines and a great atmosphere.

Goldie is the name of our boutique vineyard on beautiful Waiheke Island. Here we create character wines that draw on the knowledge and experience of Kim and Jeanette Goldwater who founded winegrowing on Waiheke Island in the 1970’s and produced iconic wines from this vineyard over many decades. We host The Goldie Room Vineyard Cafe, The Tasting Room, and the University of Auckland Goldwater Wine Science Center and are a fabulous venue for your wedding, conference or special event.
I had my wedding at Goldie Estate March 2021 and it was one of the best days of my life. From day one Charlie was an absolute dream and made our wedding day so easy to plan. Leslie put together the most beautiful menu and over a week on from the wedding my friends and family still comment on how amazing the food was. Nothing was too much trouble and Charlie went above and beyond for my 91 year old grandmother-in-law which was extremely kind and thoughtful. We cannot wait to return in the future and considering my husband has already purchased his second case of wine from the Cellar door I think Goldie will continue to have a warm place in our hearts for years to come. Huge thank you to Charlie and the team and we look forward to seeing you all soon! Highly recommend!
