Brick Bay is our passion; since 1986 our blood, sweat and tears have flowed into the soil of this land, our laughter and stories resonate in the salty sea breezes. This land nurtures us and inspires us. Our vision for the future: environmental stewardship, imagining beauty, achieving intergenerational growth.
Situated on the coast in the Matakana Wine Region, our 200 acres hosts a boutique vineyard, an extensive outdoor sculpture trail, an architectural-award winning restaurant, in the midst of an idyllic landscape of farmed pasture and native bush.
We are proud to present an open air exhibition of over 60 large-scale sculptures by New Zealand’s leading contemporary sculptors, set in a landscape of towering native trees, majestic palms and precious kauri forest alive with birdsong.
Our Sculpture Trust operates as a charitable trust with surplus revenue available to selected artists to assist in the creation of new sculpture.
Here at Brick Bay, with just under 4 hectares planted in vines, we believe that it is this special environment that makes our wines unique, as the influences of soil and climate define each vintage.
Because we are passionate about what we do, striving for excellence without compromise, we gather around us valued people who are equally passionate about their role as part of the Brick Bay Team
We make a focussed range of boutique wines from grapes grown on site in our sustainably accredited vineyard. Our honey comes from our own hives, extra virgin olive oil is handpicked from our olive groves which overlook the bay. Honest Chocolat make handcrafted artisan chocolates using our Brick Bay produce.
At Brick Bay, we are passionately committed to forging a sustainable future, integrating eco-conscious practices in all we do. Our sustainability journey is woven into the very fabric of our operations, from our Sculpture Trail to the wines we lovingly craft. We cherish our role as kaitiaki (guardians) of the land, ensuring that we not only preserve but enhance the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Our efforts are grounded in the belief that sustainability goes beyond environmental action; it is about creating a harmonious balance with our community and our whenua (land). We actively work to reduce our carbon footprint, champion renewable resources, and uphold biodiversity. Every sip of wine, every stroll on our trail, and every meal served is a testament to this ethos.
We’re proud to have been awarded the Qualmark Gold Certification on our first evaluation – an endorsement of our deep-rooted commitment to sustainability.
We invite you to join us on this journey. As you experience the artistry of our Sculpture Trail or the richness of our vineyard, know that you are part of a larger movement towards sustainability at Brick Bay. Together, we can celebrate and protect the unique tapestry of Aotearoa’s environment for generations to come.
