Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — confirmed as a private booking, not a group experience.
The real Stonyridge and Mudbrick Vineyards.
Its 1987 vintage first built the vineyard's national reputation, and in 2000 a blind tasting by French sommeliers ranked the 1996 Larose equal first alongside Château Pétrus, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, and Cheval Blanc.
Founders Nick and Robyn Jones chose the material mainly for its look when they built the winery and restaurant in the early 1990s, and later found the thick walls were naturally good for ageing and storing wine.

About This Tour

A confirmed private tour for your group, with genuine wine tasting at Stonyridge Vineyard and a 3-course lunch at Mudbrick Vineyard. This is confirmed as a private booking (not a group experience). Real stops include a jewellery-making workshop, Stonyridge Vineyard's Larose Vertical 2 tasting, a 3-course lunch at Mudbrick Vineyard, and the Headland Sculpture on the Gulf walk.

Stonyridge was founded in 1982 by Stephen White, who came home from travels through the Mediterranean convinced Waiheke's climate could produce a serious Bordeaux-style red. The first vintage followed in 1985, and the 1987 Larose — the Cabernet-based blend the vineyard is still built around — made Stonyridge's name nationally almost overnight. In 2000, a blind tasting by a panel of French sommeliers placed the 1996 Larose equal first alongside Château Pétrus, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, and Cheval Blanc, a result that's followed the wine ever since.

Mudbrick has a quieter origin story. Nick and Robyn Jones bought the bare block in 1992 with no winemaking background at all, and chose to build their winery and restaurant out of mudbrick largely for the look of it — only later discovering the thick walls were naturally well suited to ageing and storing wine. Their café opened in 1995, the first Mudbrick vintage was made in 1996, and the restaurant has since gone on to earn wider recognition, including a Michelin star under the newly launched Michelin Guide for New Zealand.

Both estates sit a short drive apart on western Waiheke, and the day's art stop — the Headland Sculpture on the Gulf walk — is real too: a biennial outdoor exhibition founded in 2003 by the Waiheke Community Art Gallery, tracing roughly 2.5 kilometres of coastal headland between Church Bay and Matiatia, with visitor numbers that have reached as high as 40,000 in its stronger years.
