Marsden Estate Winery & Restaurant

Absolutely gorgeous winery to visit ! We originally went to another winery nearby, but shortly left as we found this one instead, and we’re so glad we did ! The winery was so beautiful and a very calm atmosphere. Such a great spot to go on a date with someone for sure !We got a antipasto platter and also some bread and hummus, great food with such lovely staff.

AMAZING place to visit when you're in the area.The best vineyard in Kerikeri. We came for a wine tasting and platter and were greeted by a big friendly sleepy dog at the front gate. Already that's rive stars for me.We then moved on to some wine tasting. They have a good but not intimidating range of wines to taste which are tasty, even for someone who doesn't know wines very well. The people taking the tasting were very charismatic and fun.We were told our platter is ready so moved on to the beautiful and tranquil outdoor area covered with vines and plants. It overlooked a beautiful pond.The platter was amazing and so big. There was such a range of food on it and it was all delicious.During our stay we were greeted by two friendly dogs who wandered around outside.Can't wait to go back!

Very delicious food from a menu with a large range made up of really fresh ingredients. Attentive staff and yum wines also.

Best meal had in ages. Seafood linguine was fabulous, and snapper meal was a delight also. Had to have dessert, and they didn't disappoint either. Highly recommend

So nice! Was a bit of a cold day and we were worried about sitting outside but the outdoor space was well heated and picturesque. Friendly, patient and switched on service, lovely wine, and yummiest cheese platter had in a while. Very reasonable prices as well. Definitely going back!

The food here is really good and we felt like we got value for money. The staff were attentive, efficient and friendly. They allow dogs and there were a few around that were well controlled. Had a stroll through the vineyards. A great spot!

Great food and service. Allowed our beagle which was great. Had the anit pasta platter which was brilliant and couldn't go past the Black rock chardonnay

Our experience was interesting. Upon entering, the hostess was not very welcoming when we explained we didn't have a booking for lunch but rather wanted to try the wine tasting option. Unfortunately they don't have any chairs for this option, so you stand at the pay station table for the whole experience. Thanks to the manager, Sera, who made up for the awkward atmosphere with her expert knowledge and wonderful personality. We bought the Muscrat and Pinos Gris but would have enjoyed a seated and more self paced wine tasting experience as we felt rushed to finish the glass as it was poured.

We had lunch and some wine tasting. The food was spectacular! Had venison and duck both were perfectly cooked and nicely presented. Enjoyed every single bit of it! Staff were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about wines. Highly recommended. Thank you for the memorable experience!

Wow! Stopped here on a whim and was greeted with a stunning and enormous estate. Parking was full but they had additional and it was so busy, for good reason. The wines and food here was absolutely sensational, with award winning varieties with special acclaim to the Chardonnay which has been internationally recognised and I can see why.The restaraunt also was a last minute choice and was just unbelievably good, especially the pasta. We have not made it to any other vineyards in the Northland trail but I don't see how any could beat Marsdens. I'm truly sad they don't have big distribution at home in Australia because I'd go far and wide for the Chardonnay.
