My favourite of all the wineries on Waiheke for the vibes, views and of course the wine! Beautiful winery that feels like you've gone to another country. We often get a taxi to Mudbrick and then walk back down to the ferry via Cable Bay winery.

Other information: Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant offers a unique and romantic culinary experience set against the stunning backdrop of the Hauraki Gulf and Auckland city.
