New Zealand is home to world famous wines, great food, art and now also craft beer. Doing one of our ‘Great Taste Tours’ is a great way to experience new tastes of all of these. Having us do the driving in our luxury vehicles means you all get to enjoy your tour. Our experienced guides know the best places and take great care to make sure you have a great day out.
The Auckland region is home to over 100 wineries and we have selected some of the best for our daily wine tours. We visit some of the oldest commercial wineries in the Kumeu region and also newer wineries in the Matakana area.
New craft breweries are popping up all over the Auckland region, our tours take you to some of the best.
Many of our wine and craft beer tours are a foodies delight – we have great lunches at Brick Bay, platters at Westbrook winery and yummy chocolates at Chocolate Brown to name a few.
Our regular ‘great taste tours’ are listed below so have a look and book the one that suits you. If you have any questions about any of our tours then call us on 09 837 4130 or use the contact form.
