We’re thrilled to announce that Saturday dinners are now a regular feature at Brick Bay, launching from 5 April 2025. This marks a new chapter for us – and for the Matakana dining scene – offering guests the chance to enjoy a seasonal menu, our estate-grown wines, and a relaxed yet refined experience that flows into the evening.
Whether you're a Matakana local or visiting from nearby towns like Warkworth, Snells Beach, Omaha, or even Auckland, Brick Bay now gives you a new reason to stay out after the sun goes down.
A Growing Dining Destination on the Matakana Coast
The Matakana region continues to grow as one of New Zealand’s favourite weekend destinations, and as it evolves, so too does the desire for more evening dining options. With limited restaurants open at night in the area, we're proud to offer Saturday night dinners as a regular, reliable, and elevated option for locals and visitors alike.
Whether you're planning a long lunch that stretches into the evening, or simply looking for somewhere special to dine after a day exploring the coast, Brick Bay offers a destination-worthy dinner experience just an hour from Auckland.
Wine, Dine & Unwind in a Unique Setting
Dinner service runs every Saturday from 5:30pm to 9:00pm, hosted in our award-winning Glass House overlooking the vines and reflective lake. The menu is built around seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, designed to showcase the best of our region and to pair perfectly with our Brick Bay wines.
To celebrate the launch, we’re featuring live music by acoustic artist Danny Crocome on Saturday 5 April, playing from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. Settle in with a glass of rosé, enjoy the music, and let the evening unfold.
And for those who arrive a little earlier, there’s nothing quite like a late afternoon stroll on the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. As the light softens and shadows lengthen, the trail takes on a new atmosphere – offering a deeply peaceful, almost ethereal way to connect with nature and contemporary New Zealand art before dinner.
