Discover more about Batch Winery

Winery and Vineyard

Batch Winery stands as Waiheke Island's highest vineyard, offering sweeping 360-degree vistas across the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland skyline, and Coromandel Peninsula. Family-owned, it crafts premium boutique wines from two estates: the Thomas Vineyard, established in 1998 with steep north-facing Chardonnay, Syrah, and Pinot Gris plantings, and the Margaret Reeve Lane Vineyard from 2006, featuring mature Syrah and Bordeaux varieties. Low-intervention farming respects soil and vine regeneration, with gravity-fed processing, barrel aging, and estate bottling ensuring expressive terroir-driven wines.

Restaurant and Dining

The destination restaurant delivers relaxed, island-style meals with seasonal plates from fresh, local ingredients. The Josper charcoal oven sears meats, roasts vegetables, and hot-smokes salmon to perfection. Menus include roasted beetroot salad with heirloom tomatoes and goat cheese, charcuterie platters with local cheeses, smoked mussels, and fig jam, alongside generous lunches like gnocchi, lamb ribs, and beef scotch fillet. Pair dishes with Legacy Chardonnay, sparkling wines, or Syrah for an exceptional experience. Sunset dinners elevate the ambiance with stunning views.

Wine Tastings and Cellar Door

Cellar door tastings guided by knowledgeable wine ambassadors highlight smooth, award-winning pours, including rare sparklings uncommon on Waiheke. Relax on bean bags in the garden post-tasting, soaking in panoramic scenery. The winery doubles as a wedding and function venue, hosting intimate gatherings for 40-110 guests in pavilion, greenhouse, or hedge settings with tailored menus.
