Mudbrick Vineyard and Restaurant
Relax and enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or wine tasting in our beautiful vineyard overlooking Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf.
About the winery
The first plantings at Mudbrick were in 1992 by Nick and Robyn Jones, who still own and operate the property today. Planted area is now on two distinctively different sites: the Mudbrick Vineyard at Church Bay and Shepherds Point Vineyard at Onetangi. In addition to the Waiheke Island classics like Chardonnay, Syrah, Pinot Gris and Bordeaux red varietals, we also source grapes from different regions, because different regions specialise and do some varieties very well, better than they would grow on Waiheke Island. We source Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, and Pinot Noir from Central Otago. Handpicking, hand plunging and gentle basket pressing reflect in the character of our wines. These techniques are labour intensive but they produce a very bespoke product that the winemaker can individually craft.

History & Geography
It has now been over 18 years since we opened the restaurant – 20 years since the first plantings. We have aged – and so has our environment! Our vines are mature, but we still plant new varieties. Our landscaping has matured, but we continue to extend our gardens and potagers every year. We work on our buildings, changing, adding touches here and there. We feel they stand the test of time. The vision of our project was one that would be a lifelong development spanning 30 years and, as we suspected, we have yet to tire of drinking fine wine and creating fine food. Even eating it has not yet become burdensome. We now have two vineyard sites on Waiheke, complete with fully operational winery, and now we have received gold medal recognition for our wines. We hope when you visit, you will enjoy The Mudbrick as much as we do. We are proud of what we do, and we know you will feel transported into a different world. The Mudbrick has it’s own heartbeat – and has a lovely feel surrounding it w
