Wine Tasting West Coast Tour - Full Day For Two (Auckland)

We collect you from your Auckland, central city, location and have a short talk about the type of wines you are most interested in so we can select wineries to best suit your tastes. Most wineries in the West Auckland region grow grapes in NZ’s premium wine regions, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Martinborough, Marlborough & Otago. You can expect to find our world famous fresh, zingy Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay and sometimes Pinot Gris and Gewurtztraminer with reds including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and sometimes Pinotage, Malbec and Grenache. We then set of in our small luxury coach to visit a selection of wineries in the West Auckland region for you to sample their wines. Your guide is the most experienced wine tour guide in the Auckland area and will go into as much, or as little, detail as you like about the different wine styles available and wine making techniques used in NZ. During the day we normally visit up to five wineries, including both the large and smaller, boutique style, and take a look at what’s happening at Takapu Reserve, the spectacular gannet colony located on the cliffs overlooking Muriwai black iron sand beach. We stop to enjoy an open menu lunch (single main course), after the first couple of wineries, at an excellent, café style, restaurant. This tour is a great chance to stock up on your favourite wines, or discover something new, at genuine cellar door prices. At the end of the tour we return you to your Auckland city accommodation.
