Nice winery with great restaurant. It is Asian inspired and our curries were beautifully cooked and full of flavours. Sitting in the deck and overlooking the area was fantastic. We'd come back any time

Four of us visited the Plume Restaurant for a birthday dinner. The food was great except the portion sizes were very small and we felt that it was not good value for money.More

Our 5 course meal was mostly cold food mostly had chilli in everything and was a little disappointing to the fact we didn’t even stuck around for dessert. Although the staff were a delight maybe ordering from the menu is the best option.More

Description
Situated just an hour's drive from Auckland or Whangarei, Plume, the vineyard restaurant, Matakana is a must visit destination on any Matakana wine or food journey - we believe we are all about fabulous local New Zealand wine and produce which together can celebrate "culinary diversity." Plume is a small town, rural, rustic restaurant with friendly service from locally employed staff. It is a great change from the starchy fine dining service of a big city like Auckland yet is in a class of its own.
