Brick Bay Wines & Sculpture Trail

Had a very good lunch and walk at Brick Bay Wines & Sculpture Trail. The drive was just about an hour but the experience there was great. We had warm olives which were nice as there were three types of olives. The lentil, chickpeas and curry soup was deliciously good. So was the crispy squid which was cooked with thin layer of batter. Fish croquettes were yummy too. The fish meat was covering by crispy and thin batter making them crispy outside and soft inside. I love the pumpkin salad and I must say every dish is covered with nice crunchy salad which made the dishes very tasty.

We had an amazing delicious lunch today. Staff were absolutely wonderful with genuine great customer service. All our food was delicious, I think it's a place you need to visit several times to sample all items on the menu.

We really enjoyed the sculpture trail—an easy and scenic walk, perfect before a meal. We had the lamb and the snapper with a side of fries, and everything tasted exceptional. The place was very busy for a Sunday, so definitely make a reservation in advance. Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous day at Brick Bay. The sculpture trail was lovely, with interesting, thought-provoking, and beautiful works - many more than I’d expected. The bush walk is a massive bonus and we were accompanied by birds including seeing a Kōtuku in the small lake. We strolled through the ‘kitchen gardens’ just in time to see a stunning sunset over the distant seascape - magic. Then into the Glasshouse for an excellent dinner with beautiful matching wines. Attention to details and perfect ingredients were a winning combination - big shoutout to the smoked beetroot butter accompanying the sourdough to start with, and the chocolate cheesecake. The experience was given as a Mother’s Day present - excellent choice - I’ll be giving one to a close friend for an upcoming big birthday later this year.

Exceptional visit. We are NZers and love finding new places to visit on our ‘home turf’. We wanted to visit the Sculpture Trail but when we looked online dining was fully booked for the Sunday. We arrived at 10.30 on the Sunday and the friendly team said they could offer us a Brunch or Lunch booking. We booked for lunch and headed out on the trail with a takeaway coffee in hand. The sculpture trail is exceptional - not just for the 60 scupltures but for the birds and birdsong. The Kauri loop was stunning! Food wise - lovely, attentive, staff who explained the menu, exceptional wine tasting flight for $16, great starters and mains. V good value for money. Highly recommend if you love either or all nature, sculpture, alfresco food!

Warkworth Men's Rebus Club had our 40th Anniversary lunch at Brick Bay. The venue was brilliant for all 60 of us, the food was excellent - we had a platter lunch - and the service was superb. It is an excellent venue for any group. We will be back.

I love Brick Bay and all it has to offer. Food is fabulous, a real foodie delight and love locally sourced produce. Robotic receptionist is fabulous. Sculpture trail is always a delight.

Absolutely enjoyed our experience! I think it was the great service that made the whole experience better. We'll definitely be back!
