Kumeu Wine Country Tour from Auckland: 3 Wineries & LunchA small-group wine tour from Auckland to Kumeu Wine Country, New Zealand's heritage wine region, with tastings at three award-winning wineries, lunch at a contemporary vineyard restaurant, and a stop at Muriwai Beach. The Brajkovich and other founding families still run the wineries they established in the 1930s and 1940s, producing world-renowned Chardonnay and bottle-fermented sparkling wines. Hotel pickup from inner-city Auckland is included, and the tour runs five hours, Monday to Saturday.Is it for me?The tour departs from your Auckland hotel, so you don't need a rental car or knowledge of the roads to Kumeu—the driver handles navigation and the timing, and you arrive at each winery ready to taste. This works well if you're staying in central Auckland without a car, or if you'd rather not drive after wine tastings.
Kumeu Wine Tour from Auckland: wineries, food and Muriwai BeachA full-day wine tour from Auckland that visits three carefully selected Kumeu wineries for tastings paired with food, includes a leisurely lunch at The Hunting Lodge, and finishes in the rolling countryside of Muriwai. From August to March, the tour stops at the Gannet Colony where around 1,200 pairs of gannets nest on the cliffs above the black-sand beach. Hotel pickup is included; minimum age is 18.Is it for me?The four- to six-hour timeframe leaves room to linger over tastings and lunch without eating up the rest of your day, and the addition of Muriwai's cliffs and black-sand beach means you're not spending the whole tour indoors at wineries — the landscape changes halfway through, which is what makes this different from a wine-focused itinerary alone.
