Review of Auckland’s Muriwai Scenic Wine Tour, with black-sand beaches, gannets, two winery tastings, practical tips, and honest value advice.

We had a great time and highly recommend this tour if you are interested in wine related topics as well as current NZ conditions. The NZ wines that we tasted were not to our liking that day, but we know that we do enjoy other NZ wines. to our tastes, but nonetheless we had a fine afternoon.”

It was an intimate small group which wasn’t overwhelming. While at one of the wineries we were there at the same time as another company but they had 2 large buses full of people so I’d much rather our tour with only max 10 people but we only had 7. We went to Obsidian, Postage Stamp and Mudbrick plus, Batch Winery for lunch, which were all stunning locations, I’d highly recommend this…”
