I recommend it! - This is a great combination - an interesting tour around Auckland and then out in the countryside to visit three lovely wineries. Lunch was great and the wineries were all worth visiting. I highly recommend this excursion.

Fantastic Tour! - Fantastic tour with knowledgeable and entertaining guides the whole way! I did the city tour part with Alex and the winery tour with Kelley. Both were outstanding and made the tour lots of fun. I would do this tour again and recommend this to anyone who loves wine and interested in knowing more about Auckland and New Zealand.

Excellent tasting tour with gorgeous views. - Our host did an amazing job and provided us with all the best views throughout the winery tour. The wine itself was excellent, and it’s clear that the owners of each winery take a lot of pride in their work. Highly recommend!

The City and Wine — A Great Experience - Alex, our driver/tour guide was fantastic. Knowledgeable, articulate and kind. The view from Mt. Victoria was amazing, as was the lunch at Soljans Winery (try the Croatian dish if it is available — Yum!) John at Coopers Creek was especially nice, and the Coopers Creek Gold Dessert Wine was outstanding. Over all, the tour gave us the opportunity to experience the variety of wines of Kumeu. Thanks again. Ken & Dinah

Fabulous day in Auckland area - This tour can be divided into two parts: the morning city tour and the afternoon wine tour. Both guides, Jason and Alex, were great. The tour is operated by Bush and a beach tours here in Auckland and the company has an excellent reputation.
From the moment we were picked up in the morning, we knew we were in excellent hands. The city tour was very well paved with great stops and great information presented. The afternoon tour to the three vineyards was loads of fun and informative. The three vineyards were excellent. It was a great day out!
