    Attended Sunday lunch, is not anywhere near what it used to be. Food was ok, lacked variety for a Buffet style lunch and Very! over priced for what you get. For the price i would expect a glass of their wine to be included.

    My wife and I visited for a Saturday lunch while on vacation in New Zealand. Although it was winter and the last leaves had just fallen from the grape vines, it was a beautiful location. More importantly for our visit the hospitality, wine, and food were all spot on. In terms of the wine, we tried both the Vilagrad Cabernet blend and the 3 Brothers Pinot Noir. We enjoyed both. The Cab had more berry notes, while the Pinot had more cherry and stone fruit notes. The buffet lunch was excellent. Our service included roast pork, lamb, and fish. We did not try to the fish ourselves, but we both really enjoyed the roast lamb and pork. The desserts served with the lunch were practically a meal in themselves. We noticed throughout our trip that New Zealanders love their sweets and this spread certainly did not disappoint. All in all, we would highly recommend the Saturday or Sunday lunch to couples, families, or groups. The location, hospitality, food, and wine are well worth it. The location and facility also looked like a great venue for parties or weddings.

    After recently moving next to vilagrads I'm (as well as all the neighbours) are really quite fed up eith the bird cannons that go off every 10-30 minutes between 6am and about 10pm. The dogs are terrified and it wakes you up in the evening and in the morning. Come on guys can you use nets like everyone else? Or tone it down a bit? The very loud party's going well past midnight every Friday & Saturday are also getting pretty frustrating. At least those are tolerable because they do actually come to an end, unlike the canons. Come ou guys can you be more respectful to the community you are based in?

    Just celebrated my 60th at Vilagrad. What a fabulous weekend. We hired the accommodation for two nights and joined the Christmas party on the Saturday night. Great food (including vegan options) and the atmosphere was so good that the excellent band didn't take a break all night. Thanks for helping to make my celebration very memorable.

    Great place for a function, wedding reception. Awesome friendly staff and great atmosphere with wonderful vineyard views. As well as their own product to sample.

    we went for lunch on saturday, delicious homemade food. Variety of lamb, pork and fish. Good selection of wines and beers. Well worth the drive if you are heading to Matamata from Auckland.

    I organised a visit with my wine club, from Papamoa, 6 residents travelled in the village van and five couples in motorhomes, a very informative tour followed by a tasting, highly recommend visiting this vineyard
