Welcome to Auckland Wine Trail Tours, voted New Zealand's best wine tours in the 2010 "TravellerVoted Awards". We are the original Auckland wine tour offering you the most experienced wine guide on small group, personalised, Day & Half Day wine tasting tours.

Individual visitors and small groups with limited time can relax in our comfortable, modern, minicoach and enjoy New Zealand's wines and spectacular sightseeing on a personally customised, guided wine tasting tour to some of the Auckland region's finest vineyards.

To help you select your tour here is a brief explanation of the differences between the two main regions we visit, Auckland's West Coast and the East Coasts Matakana.

This is where NZ's wine industry was founded by pioneering settlers from the Mediterranean coast of Croatia over 100 years ago. It is an area steeped in local wine history and features many heritage wineries. Wineries in this region source grapes from their own vineyards in the West Auckland area as well as New Zealand's other grape growing regions. This means they have a wide range of different types of grapes growing in optimum conditions (soil types and climates) from which they produce a wide variety of wine types, this is what we call the "New Zealand wide wine tasting experience". There is also a wide selection of large long established wineries and small to medium sized boutique wineries. With the most experienced wine tour guide we customise your tour to your tastes and interests.
