The East Coast region of Matakana wine country has a selection
of small boutique wineries rapidly developing a big reputation
for the excellent quality of their unique, estate grown, handcrafted
wines.
Your East Coast Auckland Wine Tour takes you
North (approx' 50 minutes) over Auckland's Harbour Bridge,
along the East Coast through small seaside towns and farming communities.
You get some great views of the Hauraki Gulf and Pacific Ocean, native forest and farmland along the way.
Vineyards in the Matakana wine country are producing superb wines from grapes grown exclusively on their own estates. Some of the best boutique wineries in the country are doing things their way by growing grapes to suit each vineyard's individual "terroir", a combination of local climate and soil type, and following traditional, time honoured, labour intensive methods are creating distinctively styled wines. Wineries we select from include Ransom Wines, Ascension, Hyperion, Brick Bay, Omaha Bay, Mahurangi River, Runner Duck & Heron's Flight.
Chat to the winemakers and find out some of their secrets. Lunch is enjoyed at a vineyard restaurant overlooking the vines (included). Click here to find out more about our various tours:
