Came here on a Saturday in December and was surprised at how quiet the place was! It’s a bit out of the way compared to some of the other vineyards so guess that’s why. Beautiful location with a relaxed feel. Nice sitting outdoors but under cover so you’re not right in the sun. We had the platter and fries, amazing fries!! Platter was nice and generous but could have done with more variety of cheese. Service started out amazing and our waitress was great but swapped part way through and the other staff member wasn’t too attentive so mixed bag there. Overall a good location and delicious wines.

A friend and I came to a degustation evening and I have to say I was impressed not only by the friendliness but also the attentiveness of the staff. As I hail from the South Island I have visited more than a few winerys in the Marlborough, North Canterbury and surrounding regions and I must say Passage Rock had one of the loveliest Pinot Grigios I have tasted in a long time. I was facinated to hear that they utilise Bentonite in their processes as well. The highlight of the night however in my opinion was the food. It was absolute perfection!

So glad we stopped here for lunch on our tiki tour round the island. Possibly one of the best platters for two that I've had. Substantial servings with plenty of bread to accompany. Lovely setting as well.

Nice food and friendly service. Reasonable price. We wait to be seated for a bit and we kind of end up accomodating ourselves. Happy they had some nice kids meals and hight chairs.
