The Vineyards, Honey and Black Sand Beaches tour we did with John was one of the best things we did on our trip to Auckland. The tour length was just right, and all the stops were interesting and enjoyable. Our lunch was lovely, as well. Not only was John very knowledgeable about Auckland and the surrounding areas, he is truly an expert on all things wine. (And an all around interesting person.) I have done many wine tastings and winery tours in the US and internationally, but never one this interesting and informative. In addition to the wineries and our lunch, we also enjoyed the gorgeous Muriwai cliffs and beaches. We were also able to see - and hear - the gannets in their breeding colony on the cliffs. You can’t go wrong with his tour. Thank you John!
Hi Cate, Thanks for your fantastic review and I'm so pleased you considered your tour one of the best things you did while you were in Auckland. Being one of the only wine tour guides with a background in wine before I started my business 24 years ago certainly gives me a degree of elevated knowledge not only about New Zealand Wine, but wine styles and regions from all over the world, many of which I have visited more than once. So thanks for your generous praise and thanks for posting your positive feedback for others to read on TripAdvisor. I hope you'll follow NZWINEPRO® on Instagram or Facebook to stay in touch Best regards- John McFarlane
What a great day we had on the North West Coast near Auckland! Our tour guide John was wonderful lively narrator. He knows about the Wine industry! We got a behind the scenes wine tour! We had lovely food, all the cellar door staff were friendly and helpful! The black sand beach was beautiful in a desolate way! Recommend this tour!
Thanks for your great review. I am delighted the tour met with your best expectation and that all the inclusions and winery people treated you well. Muriwai is a dramatic place to visit all seasons... Halcyon in summer, ethereal and brooding in winter.
