Oenophiles and nature enthusiasts alike will enjoy this half-day excursion along the unspoiled beauty of the Auckland Wine Trail. After traveling through the spectacular scenery and expansive vineyards you'll stop at Solijans Winery, family-owned for three generations with over 70 years of wine-making experience. Mediterranean-style décor welcomes you, and the local, knowledgeable staff shares the story of how this family, originally from Croatia, became one of New Zealand's premier wine producers. Take a vineyard tour that includes views of the family's estate and cellars and enjoy a tasting. Your next stop will be at Hunting Lodge Winery, located in the picturesque, rolling hills of Waimauku. Admire the gardens and taste its award-winning wines accompanied by a seasonal food pairing in this beautiful setting. A relaxing drive back to port is a wonderful opportunity to discuss this splendid day with fellow passengers. Cheers!
