Mudbrick Vineyard

Mudbrick's lofty terrace with sweeping views is one of Waiheke's most romantic spots for a gourmet meal. It's great for lunch, but even more special as the sun starts setting and diners can spot the twinkling lights of Auckland in the far-off distance. The menu is definitely on the pricy side, especially since you're on casual-cool Waiheke, but everything is exceedingly well prepared, the wine lists is local and terrific and the views are unbeatable.

Indagare Tip: Be aware that Mudbrick is a favorite for special occasions – if you're craving a romantic, quiet evening, be sure to ask whether they are hosting a larger function the night you plan on dining here.
