Welcome to Auckland Wine Tours, where we bring the renowned expertise of Waiheke Wine Tours to Auckland’s stunning mainland wine regions. We’ve taken the essence of what made us a Waiheke favourite and added a twist of urban sophistication, creating unforgettable wine experiences right here in Auckland.
Our reputation speaks for itself, with over 1,000 glowing reviews from wine enthusiasts who’ve savoured our tours. We’re not just guides but passionate storytellers eager to share the rich tapestry of Auckland’s wine heritage with every guest.
At the heart of our offerings is the Quintessential Wine Tour, an exploration of West Auckland’s breathtaking wine country. This region, steeped in viticultural history, became the cradle of New Zealand’s wine industry in the early 20th century. Many of the vineyards you’ll visit are still family-owned, some now in their 5th generation, proving that winemaking truly runs in the blood here.
As you journey through the Kumeu Valley, you’ll be treated to tastings at four world-renowned vineyards. Each stop offers a unique glimpse into the artistry of winemaking, from the vine to the glass. Between sips, you’ll feast on a delicious lunch that perfectly complements the day’s tastings.
Your local guide will not only introduce you to the wine, but also provide captivating commentary on the landscape, the people, and the passion that makes this region unique. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the diverse beauty of Auckland, from lush vineyards to golden beaches, the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge, and the serene Riverhead Forest.
For those looking to venture further afield, we offer bespoke private tours to Matakana. This journey takes you through the picturesque Hibiscus Coast, where rolling hills give way to pristine beaches. In Matakana, you’ll discover a perfect blend of boutique vineyards and craft breweries, each with its own unique character.
We understand that every group has its own flavor, which is why we specialize in crafting experiences tailored to your tastes. Whether you’re planning a corporate event, a family reunion, or a gathering of friends, we can design a tour that hits all the right notes. From gin distilleries to craft beer venues, from casual lunches to elegant dinners, we’ll work with you to create an itinerary that leaves a lasting impression.
