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.

These were not the best wineries that NZ has to offer, but it was a pleasant day out and the visit to Muriwai and the gannet colony was spectacular!
Great wines and scenery, terrible transportation!

I wish i could have given this tour the 4 or 5 stars it deserved. Here are all of the positives: The wine tastings were all very good. At the Soljan winery we met Tony Soljan, age 81, who brought the vines from Croatia to start this winery. The wines were interesting varietals and very tasty. On the way to the Hunting Lodge vineyard, we stopped to take photos of the picturesque Muriwai Beach along the Tasman Sea. The wines at the Hunting Lodge were again different varietals and very good. At our last stop, we tasted wines at the Westbrook winery where we were also served pizza. The wines were amazing. At each winery, the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. One of the reasons that we had selected this tour so that we could see some of the countryside. The scenery did not dissapoint. Now for the reason for the 3 star rating...the van that we were in was DISGUSTING. The seats were stained and the curtains were mildewed. I just hope that no one gets ill from breathing in mold spores! The PA system didnt work very well and for the first part of the tour we could hardly here the driver. I heard that it was a rental van..not sure why a rental was needed, but they should never rent from this place again if they want to keep customers. I would recommend this tour if they get a better van!

The wine experience presents a wide variety of wines along with, of course, information on their crafting. But the highlight is standing next to gannets at their nesting grounds. Even when the birds are not there the scenery is breathtaking. Our guide Jose was perfect: personable, easy going and filled with stories of the area. The trip was a pure delight.

We tasted some excellent wines at the featured wineries, including Soljans’ Kumeu Pinot Gris, Kumeu River Chardonnay, and Westbrook Riesling. The view from the location of the gannet colony is spectacular. It was a rainy day and a wine tour was the perfect activity!
Good wine, fun time
