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.

5.00The 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.

5.00We 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!
