Highlights

The Hunting Lodge Winery & Restaurant - The Hunting Lodge is a winery based in the heart of Aucklandâs Wine Country with a rich heritage and a youthful spirit.
It is the place where the Spence brothers, founders of the Matua Vineyard, created the first New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Driven to do things a little differently and keep the spirit of innovation alive, The Hunting Lodge wine range not only showcases the best wine regions in the country but also captures the spirit of New Zealandâs pioneering nature in wine
Soljans Estate Winery - Over 80 years ago, the first delicate grapevine was planted in a West Auckland field. That grapevine grew into the Soljan family winery that is still standing today .In fact, very few wineries in New Zealand can claim to have a prouder winemaking heritage than Soljans. They are the third oldest winery in New Zealand that is still owned and operated by the original family. Five continuous generations have been involved in wine making. This is our lunch stop for a delicious 3 course vineyard lunch with a glass of wine, of your choosing, included in our tour price.
Coopers Creek Vineyard - Coopers Creek sits in the heart of the Huapai and Kumeu wine region, about 25-minutes drive north west of Auckland. It is an area steeped in tradition and home to some of the oldest established vines in New Zealand. Coopers Creek continues to innovate, particularly with new wine styles, introducing and pioneering promising new grape varieties that are ideal for cool climate regions. Viognier, Albariño, Arneis, Marsanne and Montepulciano are new varieties for New Zealand, but heading for stardom. Coopers Creek is satisfying a growing demand for these stylish varieties in addition to its longstanding pedigree with Chardonnay, Pinot, Syrah and Bordeaux reds. Crafting wines that are attractive, inspiring and stylish is Coopers Creekâs driving force. Pioneering and innovating has been its goal for the last forty years and thatâs unlikely to change.
Westbrook Winery - Nestled in the beautiful Ararimu Valley, just a short and pretty drive from downtown Auckland, Westbrook is one of New Zealandâs oldest and most respected boutique wineries, having just turned 85 years old. Their skilled wine-making team proudly uphold an extraordinary legacy, using time-honoured traditional and innovative techniques to produce iconic hand-crafted wines .

Drink the wines! A really enjoyable day. - 8 of us did the West Auckland wine tasting tour - highly recommended. Each vineyard provided lots of information on their wines and provided a good selection to taste. The lunch at Soljans was delicious. A shout out to Gary at Westbrook and Matt our driver for lots of fun and laughter.
