Mills Reef Winery & Restaurant

This place is wonderful - perfect for a date night. Its romantic, very classy and the food is gorgeously presented! Everything tasted amazing, and our favourite part was being able to order a wine taster and experience the different tastes (cant remember what it was called, but 4 wines lined up in glasses to taste). The staff here are excellent, attentive and full of smiles, and we didnt have to wait long beteen courses. Tables are well spaced apart so you dont get that cramped overcrowded feeling which helps with that overall romantic intimate atmosphere.

Lovely venue and wedding location. Pitty it’s now moved

Had a wonderful lunch here recently and were impressed again by the food, setting and staff. I had the duck salad which was really tasty, my partner had the chicken and slaw burger which was also declared great! We had dessert as well, for me Inwas in heaven as I love passion fruit and had the passion fruit and yoghurt cheesecake, which came with divine passion fruit sorbet! Enjoyed and food and the setting is lovely, staff friendly, knowledgeable and professional, really recommend a visit. We will definitely return!

ED Outstanding location with a great menu and good wine list. I had the seafood chowder which was excellent, nice and creamy and full of seafood and flavour. We were there for a mid-week lunch so it wasn't very busy and didn't have much of a vibe, but I'm on the weekends and summer it would be pumping. Menu has plenty of gluten free, diary free, vegetarian etc options, all clearly marked.

On our final day in Tauranga my family and I decided to visit the winery to have a drink and relax. The environment is lovely and the view of the courtyard whilst eating also enhanced the experience. We sat outside and ordered 2 children platters for the kids and our drinks. We enjoyed our experience and would have wanted to stay and have dinner although we couldn't as we had to drive back to Auckland.
