Explore Kumeu Wineries: Wine Tour Day Trip from Auckland CBD, Auckland

Summary: Jennine our tour guide was absolutely amazing she went above and beyond. She stop so that I could get something to eat that was gluten free for breakfast. The wine tasting at all three venues was very informative and the wines were really good. Our lunch spot was really great as they offered us gluten free pizza. Over all would highly

Summary: Peter was awesome! It was a holiday in Auckland so some of the wineries on the tour were closed BUT Peter scheduled other tours for us which were amazing!!! Highly recommend.

Summary: Great tour, adapted a better trip to accommodate the average weather. Jannine was an excellent guide who tried hard to make everything great on the day

Summary: Tour was excellent and our guide was the absolute best. The wineries were fun and we were impressed with all the tastings. Our guide was a knowledgeable local who made sure we had a great experience. She stopped for red kiwi when one guest mentioned wanting to try some, she stopped for Hokey Pokey ice cream when we expressed an interest in this local treat and took us to a well known black sand volcanic beach to see surfers. She went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for all. She even serenaded us with ABBA songs! Great tour and guide.

Summary: We had a great time on this tour. There is more to it than wine tastings, which made it even more interesting and enjoyable. We were picked up at our hotel right on time in a very comfortable van. Our tour guide /driver was very friendly and knowledgable about New Zealand and the Auckland area, as she has lived there her whole life. We enjoy getting to talk to local people to get their views on different places that we visit. We visited 3 different wineries, and tasted about 4-5 wines at each (the total amount of wine at each place is maybe equal to a glass of wine). All of the people at each winery were knowledgable and passionate about their wines, and they seemed enthusiastic and proud to tell us about them. Between the 2nd and 3rd winery we visited the Muriwai Gannet Colony. While some of the birds had already left for the season, there were still plenty left for us to see (and smell). We also had some time to enjoy the beautiful beach there before heading to the last winery. At our final stop, we had pizza along with our wine tasting. The setting, the food and the wine were all fantastic and we were sorry when our time there was up. We finished the tour getting dropped off at our hotel. From start to finish, we had a great time on our tour. While my partner is enjoys drinking wine, I will have it on rare occasions but I wouldn't describe myself as a wine drinker. Despite this, I am very glad we did this tour and I even learned about certain types of wine that I actually really like.

Summary: The weather wine and guide were great. Sufficient time was given at each stop, we never felt rushed or pressured into making additional purchases.

Summary: Lovely wine tasting and tour. Our guide Allan was very knowledgeable and stopped at us various scenic spots for photos as well. The wineries we visited also varied in terms of character and wine profiles.

Summary: Mariana was great. She took us to three wineries, each with their own character, and we got to see some interesting sites as well.

Summary: It was just the two of us, so we had a lovely time. We did stop by three wineries, but also some lovely places along the way. Very enjoyable our last day in NZ

Summary: Excellent trip. Very informative and knowledgeable guide. Lots of highlights, great wine tasting, fabulous lunch and great company.
