Discover the charm of Matakana on this elegant private tour just 45 minutes north of Auckland, where creativity, fine wine, and natural beauty meet in perfect harmony. Designed for curious travellers, this journey blends art, flavour, and authentic local experiences.

Start with a scenic drive to the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail. Walk through peaceful native bush where striking contemporary artworks are integrated into the landscape.

Enjoy a relaxed wine tasting of some of the region’s best wines, followed by lunch in a suspended glasshouse restaurant with views of vineyards and gardens.
