Your personalised Auckland Wine Tour of 'Kumeu Wine Country' & our spectacular West Coast area starts with a talk about the type of wines you are most interested in... reds, whites, sweet, dry, exported or exclusive or all of the above! Because we don't all like the same wines our tours do not always visit the same wineries. We do our best to use our nearly 20 years of experience to select the wineries available on the day based on your tastes and interests.
Our tours are suitable for anyone interested in wine and tailored to all levels of experience.

 

All the wineries we select from are all family owned and operated, some are 3rd generation... we offer you the largest selection of wineries.

Visitors with limited time, and Kiwis alike, can relax and get out of the city away from the crowds to enjoy the wines and the views on our small group (max 9), wine tasting tour to some of the best wineries and vineyards in the Auckland region.

During the morning we include a sightseeing visit to the wild west Tasman Sea coast overlooking the magnificent Muriwai black-sand beach and the world renown ‘Takapu’ gannet colony where you can easily and safely get up close to these large sea birds & their nests, eggs & chicks (birds nesting approx' July through to May/June the next year).

On the Day Tour, after a winery or two, and all the fresh sea air, it’s usually time for lunch. You can sit, relax & enjoy your ‘open menu, main course’ lunch (included) along with wine tasting at a small, family owned & operated, award wining winery restaurant.

In the afternoon continue sampling your choice of gold medal and trophy winning wines at local cellar doors before we return you to your city accommodation.

'New Zealand wide' wine tasting experience.

Our West Coast tour is your chance to experience NZ’s regional variety with wines made from grapes grown in all the main regions including some local Auckland vineyards plus Gisborne & Hawke’s Bay in the North Island as well as Marlborough (New Zealand’s largest and most famous wine region) & Central Otago in the South Island.

Discover our internationally acclaimed ‘new world, cool climate’ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with its zingy, fresh, fruit led flavours. Select from other white wines such as Pinot Gris, oaked or unoaked Chardonnay, Dry and 'Off Dry' (but not usually sweet) Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Viognier or the even more unusual Albarino and sometimes Arnies & Marsanne.

We have several beautiful "Summer-In-A-Glass" dry Rose's made in the area too...
 

Some of the reds offered for tasting include our world renown Pinot Noir as well as Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon blended or single grape wines, Syrah (Shiraz in Australia) and sometimes Montepulciano & Pinotage.

We can also introduce you to our "Sparkling" wines, sometimes "Methode Traditionelle" (same as 'Champagne'), sometimes "Dessert" wines including Late Harvest & Botrytised are available, and for those interested we can sometimes visit a Port & Sherry specialist with vintages dating back to the1940's!
