What To Expect

Soljans Estate Winery

Soljan’s Winery This is a family operated vineyard started by Tony Soljan. There is a long history associated with the Soljans in West Auckland and their original vineyard was in the suburb of Henderson which is coincidently also in West Auckland. In the Kumeu vineyard we grow Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinotage, all varieties which excel in the Kumeu region. The wine makers and staff endeavour to make the best possible wines for you to enjoy so they get their grapes from where they grow best. Soljans employs modern wine making technology, but they never compromise on quality, so they still retain some traditional methods. In addition to the French Oak Barrique Barrels they have for ageing wine, they still have and use the hand-made, 65-year-old, 2,250 litre, magnificent totara barrels for aging their exquisite Founders Tawny Port. At Soljans Estate Winery, they produce a wide range of still and sparkling wines, and have been doing so for over 80 years.

Tour was excellent and our guide was the absolute best. The wineries were fun and we were impressed with all the tastings. Our guide was a knowledgeable local who made sure we had a great experience. She stopped for red kiwi when one guest mentioned wanting to try some, she stopped for Hokey Pokey ice cream when we expressed an interest in this local treat and took us to a well known black sand volcanic beach to see surfers. She went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for all. She even serenaded us with ABBA songs! Great tour and guide.

We had a great time on this tour. There is more to it than wine tastings, which made it even more interesting and enjoyable. We were picked up at our hotel right on time in a very comfortable van. Our tour guide /driver was very friendly and knowledgable about New Zealand and the Auckland area, as she has lived there her whole life. We enjoy getting to talk to local people to get their views on different places that we visit. We visited 3 different wineries, and tasted about 4-5 wines at each (the total amount of wine at each place is maybe equal to a glass of wine). All of the people at each winery were knowledgable and passionate about their wines, and they seemed enthusiastic and proud to tell us about them. Between the 2nd and 3rd winery we visited the Muriwai Gannet Colony. While some of the birds had already left for the season, there were still plenty left for us to see (and smell). We also had some time to enjoy the beautiful beach there before heading to the last winery. At our final stop, we had pizza along with our wine tasting. The setting, the food and the wine were all fantastic and we were sorry when our time there was up. We finished the tour getting dropped off at our hotel. From start to finish, we had a great time on our tour. While my partner is enjoys drinking wine, I will have it on rare occasions but I wouldn't describe myself as a wine drinker. Despite this, I am very glad we did this tour and I even learned about certain types of wine that I actually really like.

The 3 vineyards we visited were very different. Plenty of wines to taste in each place, with a knowledgeable host. The pizza lunch was really good! The views at the beach were stunning and Janine our driver was lovely. Have given 4 stars as we thought the cost of the tour was a little pricey but Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Great experience

Lovely wine tasting and tour. Our guide Allan was very knowledgeable and stopped at us various scenic spots for photos as well. The wineries we visited also varied in terms of character and wine profiles.
