Mercury Bay Estate - Winery & Restaurant

Best pizza we’ve had so far during our 2025 trip through NZ, wood fired and genuinely Italian made. 5* !!! Tasty, most locally produced wine - we can recommend the tasting of four SUPERB wines - we loved it!

My dad and I had a wonderful lunch at this vineyard restaurant. The wine was beautiful, perfectly complementing the delicious pizza and fresh salad. We truly enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was delightful, with warm sunshine and a gentle breeze, making it a memorable dining experience.

What an amazing view, great food and service! Pizza dough process takes 48hrs, you could taste the difference, light, crispy - best.

Mercury Bay Estate is best winery and restaurant in New Zealand. As my husband is pizzaholic, I took him to taste the best pizza in Mercury Bay Estate. We ordered a Napoli pizza there which is the traditional and delicious pizza in Napoli Italy. We started our romantic lunch by wine tasting. The owners Simon and Veronica explained to us four different types of their wine, namely Rose, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We love their Napoli pizza and wine so much that we have been there for lunch twice within a week. Apart from great food and wine, the scenery there is amazingly beautiful. While we were dining At our favourite table (Table 6), we could see the panoramic view of Cooks Beach and neighbouring islands on the opposite side of Coromandel Peninsula. We highly recommend you to enjoy their delicious pizza and great wine.

You have to stop here! If you don't have the time, make it! Delicious vine, amazing view AND THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD! I guess not even Italy has pizza this good. They are probably crying to have lost such an amazing chef to NZ. The pizza had the perfect crispness but was also soft enough and the tomato sauce was perfect as well. The mozzarella di buffalo was creamy and made the pizza heavenly good. The people are so nice and the atmosphere is just cozy with amazing views. The perfect spot for having a perfect lunch. You're missing out if you don't visit this magnificent place.

Beautiful pizza and salad with an amazing view. The tasting flight was 4 wines for $20 but each was around 60ml. We enjoyed everything. The place is a little small so book ahead and enjoy

What an amazing place! Came here for lunch after the beach to enjoy a glass of wine and some food. We got two pizzas and an antipasti platter to share and also did the wine tasting. The pizzas were wonderfully fluffy and very tasty and the local wine is incredible. The food came super quickly and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great serve on the wine tasting, great food, with a good view even on a overcast & windy day. We had a share platter between two of us an it was fresh an delicious! With a anchovy pizza with a rocket salad to follow! Yum. All served with a smile

Best tasting I've ever experienced! Danny let us try all the different fruit liquors from the farm and told us the history behind the region, all in a very funny and entertaining way. He even ran down the hill to grab us some feijoas to try. It's clear the proprietors care deeply about both their customers and their business. Plus the view was SPECTACULAR. We bought a bunch of bottles to take home and will definitely return next time we're in the area. HIGHLY recommend!

This winery was amazing! My wife and I randomly stopped by and were super impressed. The guy working there was hilarious(didn't get his name unfortunately) and really set up the atmosphere. Wine was really tasty, I think we tried most of what they had and liked everything. It was a no pressure tasting, you were offered to try anything as many times as you wanted and there was no fee. For me the big hit was the feijoa (pineapple guava) wine, ended up getting a couple of bottles of it. Next time we'll come back hungry to try their pizza.

So delicious! Excellent hospitality and best pizza I've had in New Zealand, the house cider is amazing too! Would highly recommend!
