Reiseverlauf
Soljans Estate wurde 1937 gegründet und wird von der 5. Generation derselben Familie besessen und betrieben. Sie produzieren Estate Chardonnay und Pinot Gris sowie Marlborough Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc und Pinot Noir. Sie produzieren Syrah und Cabernet Blends aus Hawkes Bay und Sparkling Muscat aus Gisborne. Sie haben auch einen beneidenswerten Ruf für ihre Tawny Ports.
Besuchen Sie die 1935 gegründeten West Brook Wines in Familienbesitz, um die Kellertür zu probieren. Im malerischen Waimauku-Tal können Sie preisgekrönten Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir und Malbec vom eigenen Weingut sowie Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris und Pinot Noir von ihren Weingütern in Marlborough probieren
Als nächstes werden Sie durch das wunderschöne Schaf- und Rinderland nach Muriwai gebracht, eine Küstenenklave, die bei Surfern beliebt ist und für ihre schwarzen Sandstrände bekannt ist. Hier können Sie beobachten, wie die Tölpel von August bis Mai umwerben, sich paaren und ihre Jungen aufziehen, um sie auf die Winterwanderung vorzubereiten. Von den Aussichtspunkten haben Sie einen spektakulären Blick auf die Tasmanische See und die zerklüftete Westküste.

Great tour with John. We were fortunate to have a private tour with John today. He was fantastic. He gave us so much good information about the area and tailored the wine tour to our taste. We visited Soljans and Hunting Lodge cellar doors as well as the gannet colony at Muriwai Beach. It was a perfect day.
Very knowledgable and informative guide. Nice, personble touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
Knowledgeable guide. The wines were surprisingly good. Scenery was spectacular. Good value for the tour
Hi Nishea, Thank you for taking the time to write your positive review. I'm glad the experience met with your approval. I enjoyed spending the afternoon with you both. Kind regards - John McFarlane
John was very knowledgeable and friendly! A great trip!!! The wineries were quite good and the gannets fantastic! We definitely recommend the tour.
Hi William, Thanks for your excellent feedback. So pleased this tour worked for you. I hope you'll follow NZWINEPRO® on Insta or Facebook to stay in touch All the best John McFarlane
We really enjoyed our wine tasting and trip to see the gannets. John was excellent we learnt a lot. I would definitely recommend this tour
Great small group tour with a wonderful guide. He was very forthcoming with great stories and insights. Saw breathtaking views of the coast with black sand.
Great experience with an even greater guide. The wine tasting was great and the gannet visit was incredible!
This half day tour is highly recommended! If we had time, we would have done the full day tour, especially after having such a great time in only 4 hours. From start to finish, the tour was fun and as informative as we wanted. John answered all of our questions and gave us heaps of background knowledge. His story is amazing to hear too. The wineries were a delight, with tasting guides at each one. We had options to shop the gift store, eat snacks or meals if needed. Plus we stopped at a beach and saw all kinds of bird life. Although we didnt need any - John had water bottles on hand for us if we wanted. Even though it was a rainy day, we had a blast regardless. If you choose to tour with John, I think it will be one if the best tour decisions you make :D
Hi Joy, Thanks fo such a great review of the Muriwai Scenic Wine Tour. I am delighted that this tour met your best expectations, and that the inclusions, wineries and attractions all made you feel you had made a sound choice. I do hope you'll follow @NZWINEPRO on Facebook or Instagram where I post things of interest I come across on my travels. Best regards - John McFarlane
Great tour of some lovely vineyards with great wines. The ride through the countryside was beautiful and the guide was very knowledgeable about the area and viniculture.
BOOK THIS TOUR or at least a tour with THIS tour guide/company!!! It was such a blast, the day really flew by. The wineries were stunning and tasteful wines - curated tasting to our palates and a little outside of our "taste bud box" as well. We visited Soljans first. Denise was delightful sharing her knowledge and family history. Hearing of 5 generations and the family ties was heartwarming and I think, came through in the beauty of their wines & port. Oh the port! Yummy! I took a whole bottle home 🤭. I like the little gift shop as well - very reasonable priced. We then visited a black sand beach and could take enough photos of the birds (gannet). Followed by visiting Westbrook winery - with stunning scenery /vineyard. It was rainning so we sat inside which was pretty and cozy as well. Not to mention the step by step tasting session. Another lovely set of 5 wines & fabulous food menu (charcuterie, pizzas, & more). They even allowed us to try some grapes off the vine on our way out. I've saved the best for last, if you've read this far.. rhe tour guide, John, has an astounding depth of wine knowledge! I can't even begin to tell his story - that is for him to tell, so I beg you to ask him because it is truly beyond fascinating! He could go deep into the science or worldly experiences or explain why certain notes appear in a wine due to the growing process. Not to mention he can explain things in simple terms too if needed 😊 I am beyond grateful to have taken this tour and highly recommend it, if you can! Cheers & enjoy!!!
