Mercury Bay Estate Winery - Cooks Beach

Absolutely stunning winery with direct views to the beach! Food was really good, one of the best pizzas we had in NZ so far. We did the wine tasting which was also great and good value for money. Friendly staff, great location you should visit!

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.

The pizza was pretty good, could not complain about the food. The sour dough was hitting. Not a wine drinker, but the Lola Wine was alright.

Our family visited Mercury Estate on a holiday in New Zealand two weeks ago. We stopped there during a casual drive around the peninsula and suddenly found ourself in the most scenic, friendly and atmospheric little wine yard imaginable. We are all Europeans and therefore knew something special was going in when we bit into probably THE best pizza any of is have ever had, even those we have eaten on our trips to Italy in the past. The espressos were great! And oh boy the cake!! The wine was awesome too -of course!! And the family there simply a joy to meet. We cannot recommend this wonderful speck of the world more. If you are around the area you will indeed cheat yourself of one of those rare experiences in life unless you stop here for a meal and drink.

Wonderful experience at this winery! We arrived without a reservation expecting not to be able to be seated, especially when a large tour group arrived at the same time. But, the winemaker was on-site and took us under his wing, making sure we got a table and we were served super fast considering the large group at the same time. The wines were very good, and the food excellent. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful view since it was extremely rainy but the service, ambiance, food, and wines made up for it.
