Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Soljans Estate Winery, 366 State Highway 16, Kumeu, Auckland 0892 New Zealand

Soljan’s Winery

This is a family operated vineyard started by Tony Soljan. There is a long history associated with the Soljans in West Auckland and their original vineyard was in the suburb of Henderson which is coincidently also in West Auckland.

In the Kumeu vineyard we grow Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinotage, all varieties which excel in the Kumeu region. The wine makers and staff endeavour to make the best possible wines for you to enjoy so they get their grapes from where they grow best.
Soljans employs modern wine making technology, but they never compromise on quality, so they still retain some traditional methods. In addition to the French Oak Barrique Barrels they have for ageing wine, they still have and use the hand-made, 65-year-old, 2,250 litre, magnificent totara barrels for aging their exquisite Founders Tawny Port.

At Soljans Estate Winery, they produce a wide range of still and sparkling wines, and have been doing so for over 80 years.

After lunch we take a scenic drive to view the seasonal Gannets (birds) on display and also the gorgeous coastline. It’s a leisurely 10 minute walk to the Gannet colony and once completed you have the opportunity to walk down to the black sand beach of Muriwai and have a walk on the beach where the driver will collect you before heading back to the city.

Stop At: Westbrook Winery, 215 Ararimu Valley Road, Waimauku 0882, New Zealand

Our third winery is West Brook Winery which is our last wine tasting stop where you have the opportunity to enjoy a lovely Antipasto or Cheese platter after your wine tasting and enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounding the vineyard.

Nestled in the beautiful Ararimu Valley, just a short and pretty drive from downtown Auckland, Westbrook is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most respected boutique wineries. The story begins in Croatia, with the renowned winemaking Ivicevich family planted their first grapevines and started to create a name for themselves. Their success and reputation followed them as they moved to New Zealand in 1935, establishing the Sunnyvale vineyard in West Auckland and the Waimauku property in 1999.

With a new wine-loving family at the helm, our skilled wine-making team proudly uphold this extraordinary legacy, using time-honoured traditional and innovative techniques to produce iconic hand-crafted wines.

Duration: 3 hours
