Just 12km north east of Warkworth and just an hour's drive from Auckland Matakana Village is the heart of the area’s wine growing district and home to a popular weekly Farmers’ Market, specialty shops, restaurants, tea rooms and a boutique cinema complex.
Visitors flock to the Saturday morning market which showcases local produce such as vegetables, cheese, olive oil, fruit, preserves, bread and pastries. Seafood, blueberry ice creams, coffee, and live music also feature. A few kilometres further along the road, the Matakana Country Park hosts an open air craft, clothing and produce market, also on Saturday mornings.

The predominantly clay soils and favourable climate have proved ideally suited to grape growing and have led to the production of award winning wines, including chardonnay, pinot gris, merlot, syrah, pinotage, cabernet sauvignon, and even sangiovese and dolceto. Much of what was formerly agricultural land in the Matakana Valley is now devoted to vineyards, several of which are open for meals, wine tasting and cellar door sales.

The seams of local clay also led to the development in the 1970s of the distinctive Morris and James Pottery, in Tongue Farm Road. The company’s iconic hand-crafted pots and plates are still made from clay dug from the banks of the Matakana River. The colours and designs are unique and have become widely popular with both New Zealand buyers and those from overseas.

A kilometre past Matakana on the Leigh Road is the turnoff to Omaha, Point Wells and the Tawharanui Regional Park. The Takatu Road, which follows the ridge and passes side roads leading to Buckleton Bay, Campbells Beach and Baddeleys Beach, leads to Tawharanui.
