Description: We do not have to look far for inspiration at Sage, our restaurant at Paroa Bay Winery. From the end of the fishing line cast into the Bay of Islands to the orchard doors of our suppliers, our locally grown and sourced ingredients combine seamlessly into a refreshingly creative New Zealand take on Sustainable coastal cuisine. With a broad-ranging menu that features some of the freshest and most revered offerings from the ocean, and some of New Zealand’s world-renowned farming produce — our chefs work to strike the perfect balance between creative flair and allowing their ingredients to be savoured as they are. And with all dishes thoughtfully matched from wines directly from our very own cellar door, the culinary experience is full-circle. It is our considered and intuitive approach that pervades the restaurant at Sage, from the kitchen through the front of house.

So great to revisit Sage, the jewel in the crown when it comes to restaurants in Northland. The magnificent setting with a grandstand view out to sea over The Bay of Islands complimented by the elegant building is the best place to enjoy a delicious lunch. Sage has a friendly sophisticated feel about it. The super attentive staff have blended Kiwi hospitality with a professional service seldom seen outside Europe. As to the food, just exceptional.

Absolutely marvellous venue with high class menu and beverages. On the very expensive side but perfect for a bit of indulgance. Off the beaten track but this added to it's charm

We returned to Sage and found it even better than the last visit. The wines are getting wow, the 21 Syrah, ( dark crimson, olives and blueberry with a peppery finish ) and 21 Chard ( beautiful struck match nose, peach , vanilla, citrus flavors ) . Wonderful service and fine dining as usual , love the mix of local and exotic flavors. Well done to everyone involved we will be back!

Yes, this is great fine dining, but we liked Terra in Paihia more, as there were just more flavors and combinations going on. We were staying in Paihia, so it was an adventure to get here, especially when weather is bad and the ferry isn't running. The wine pairings were really nice and service was friendly and attentive.
