Decadent lunch and winery afternoon

5.00Outstanding afternoon with three vineyard tastings and 4-5 vintages at each. Come hungry because lunch is the first stop and the portions are hefty and scrumptious. Add a little beach and bird nesting and it was a fabulous time with fun and gracious driver, Annie. A++

5.00The guide was fantastic, congenital, and funny. We had an amazing lunch and the wineries were interesting. We had a wide sampling of wines between the three places. The guide also took us to see a beautiful beach that he said was representative of New Zealand.
This was a fantastic day!...

5.00Lovely relaxed afternoon with congenial guide and fellow travellers. It was a good introduction to local wines. The stop at the gannet colony was the icing on the cake.
Great day of tastings!

5.00What a great day! Small group makes for more personalized wine tastings. The stop at Muriwai beach may have been my favorite part! The scenery was truly incredible and our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive. Would definitely book again or recommend to a friend. We also packed a lot into a shorter period of time - 3 wineries plus lunch in about a half day (12-5:30p) which was great for me. Sometimes these trips can take up an entire day, but this one left more time for exploring Auckland city on both ends. And the wines were great!
