4.Vineyards Honey and Black Sand Beaches from Auckland

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 93 reviews · from $183Top rated

Join guide John McFarlane for a six-hour West Auckland outing that pairs three winery visits with lunch, tastings, honey, and Muriwai Beach. Travel in an air-conditioned minivan, learn how New Zealand wine is made, and return to central Auckland without driving.

“The three wineries were great. Had a super great lunch at one of the wineries. Unfortunately it was a real rainy day so not such a great experience with the stop at the beach but the guide made his best effort to at least give us a glimpse. The reference in the header to Honey is a little misleading. Tasted and actually purchased some excellent honey but with the title in the tour expected to see actual honeycombs and how it was gathered. Nothing close to that.”

6.Rotoroa Island and Man O’War Vineyard Combo Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5 reviews · 7 hours · from $71

Cruise from Auckland to Rotoroa Island and Man O’ War Vineyard, with time for native wildlife, coastal walks, beaches, wine, and a meal. The order changes by day. Bring sunscreen, water, comfortable shoes, and a card for food or tastings.

“The boat trips were well organised and the wrist bands helped for the various drop offs and pick ups. Rotoroa Island was lovely showing how conservation could be shared with "normally visitor activities" like the swim beaches and the BBQ stations for folk to use. The Man - o - War Vineyard was OK but a bit pricey for the tasting given the quantities in each tasting. I think the 4 wines we had would not have equated to a standard glass. The wines themselves were obviously subjective to the palate, which unfortunately didn't really match mine. The bottle servers knew their wine patter well.”
