The Glass House Restaurant

The Glass House is the spectacular home of Brick Bay Wines and the gateway to the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. Cantilevered over a shimmering lake, The Glass House itself offers three inviting areas to choose from or you can request to be seated in the famous ‘Row’ and our staff will do their best to accommodate you.

Lakeside Deck and Rear Deck: we will do our best to accommodate your preferred seating, however, we cannot guarantee a table in these areas.

The Row: This area is weather dependent so it is not bookable, however, if you leave a comment with your booking that you would like to be seated there, our staff will do their best to accommodate you on the day.

BRICK BAY IS A LAND OF PLENTY

Growing from the first block of olive trees planted 25 years ago to a landscape humming with activity. Our olives are handpicked at optimum ripeness and pressed locally to produce our extra virgin olive oil, while our honey comes straight from our hives, made from the nectar of native bush species and wildflower plantings, assisting in the pollination of everything we grow.

We produce an array of garden greens, herbs, and edible flowers from our flourishing vegetable garden. Our fruit trees are adorned with peaches, plums, citrus, pecans and macadamias and our lamb comes straight from our farm. Combining these truly local ingredients with those from nearby artisan producers, our passionate chefs create inspired seasonal dishes of contemporary New Zealand cuisine.

In 2021 we were awarded the Snail of Approval by the Slow Food Movement.

 Your adventure begins when you step over the bridge from the foyer to the Glass House lake. Be challenged and delighted by our carefully curated exhibition of 70 sculptures by New Zealand’s leading contemporary artists. The Sculpture Trail winds through open pasture, around lakes and through beautiful native New Zealand bush. The trail is about 2km long and takes about an hour to complete.
