West Auckland, the thriving heart of New Zealand's wine industry since the early 20th century, boasts a rich tapestry of family-owned vineyards, many of which have been lovingly passed down through generations of Croatian-descended families. These devoted grape growers have nurtured their vines and craft for years, with some vineyards proudly celebrating their fifth generation of winemakers, a true testament to the passion and heritage of winemaking that flows. You will visit three stunning vineyards and enjoy a delicious lunch at one of them, complemented by a glass of wine. There will be plenty of wine and food to savour.
