Batch Winery

Perched high on Waiheke Island, Batch Winery pairs panoramic vistas with a serene, unhurried rhythm.

Sunlit and spacious, it’s the kind of elevated setting that invites a deep exhale, a lingering lunch and a glass raised to the surrounding landscape. The mood is refined yet relaxed, with an easy elegance that lets both the view and the plate share the spotlight.

In the kitchen, classic technique meets bright, clean flavour. Expect seafood such as ceviche, or beef carpaccio laced with capers, parmesan and rocket.

From the mains menu, baked salmon with mashed potato offers comfort with polish, while crispy pork belly brings a satisfying crackle beside apple sauce and rich gravy. Those drawn to the grill will find sirloin steak or beef scotch fillet anchored by vine tomato, fries and a glossy red wine jus.

Long tables suit the sharing mood: the signature Batch Platter layers cured meats, green-lipped mussels, New Zealand cheeses and assorted dips, while the Seafood Platter sails in with mussels, prawns, ceviche and tuna.

Pavlova and chocolate mousse close the circle sweetly. With wines spanning sparkling, white, red and dessert, plus some local pours.

Settle in, savour the scene and let the island work its magic - a batch of bliss by the glass and by the view awaits at Batch Winery.
