Description:

Visit both of Auckland's famous wine regions in 1 convenient tour. Vineyards on both the east and west coast offer you tastings of your favorite varietals accompanied with stunning views as you make your way around each region.

Begin the day by heading up the rugged northwest coast to Auckland's long-established premium wine region. Here, visit 2 of the larger vineyards in the area to enjoy tastings of their famous varietals. Enjoy crisp Sauvignon blanc, rounded Chardonnay, sweet Reisling, Pinot noir, and Merlot.

Following a drive across this scenic rural area, nibble on a gourmet lunch in a delightful setting while overlooking the vines of a local winery. It's then time to explore one of the country's emerging wine growing areas, Matakana. Three winery visits here, to smaller, more boutique places, give you a fantastic glimpse into the viticulture of New Zealand's north island.
