Getting to Brick Bay
BY CAR
A 50 minute drive north of Auckland city. Take the northern motorway (SH1) to Warkworth. At the third set of traffic lights on SH1, turn right, then after 50m take the right fork to Sandspit/Snells Beach. After 8 km you will see the brown Brick Bay Wines & Sculpture Trail sign. After 1 km, turn left into Arabella Lane, then down the second driveway on the left.
Please allow for traffic delays in peak summer and weekends- or leave the city early and join us for brunch!

DOGS at BRICK BAY
We welcome well behaved dogs to Brick Bay both on the Sculpture Trail and in outdoor dining spaces. Please note on your booking that you require an outdoor table. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and picked up after. Keep an eye out for Walter, the blue border collie- our friendly young vineyard dog.
