Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Piha es un asentamiento de playa de surf de la costa oeste a 50 km de Auckland con una población de alrededor de mil residentes. Está aislado sin transporte público y es popular para el surf, la naturaleza y el senderismo. Considerada una de las joyas de la corona de Auckland, es una gran excursión de un día para nadar, surfear, caminar, acampar o simplemente relajarse en las playas de arena negra y contemplar el impresionante bosque y el paisaje.
Soljans Estate es una familia croata de enólogos de quinta generación. Pruebe los vinos de su viñedo de Auckland y las variedades de uvas cultivadas en la bahía de Hawkes y Marlborough. También tienen un excelente bistró de viñedos galardonado donde podrá disfrutar de un almuerzo de un plato de menú abierto.
Pionero en la vinificación neozelandesa desde 1944, el río Kumeu se especializa en la producción de Finca Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir y Methode Traditionelle a partir de uvas cultivadas en sus propios diez viñedos Kumeu y Huapai. El Chardonnay fermentado barrique de Mate es considerado uno de los mejores vinos del país. Después de obtener su licenciatura en Ciencias Enológicas en Australia, el enólogo Michael Brajkovich MW se convirtió en el primer Maestro del Vino de Nueva Zelanda y ha sido Juez Principal del Concurso de Vinos Air New Zealand. Podrá disfrutar de una cata tutorizada de cinco vinos en la puerta de la bodega y luego realizar un fascinante recorrido detrás de escena a través de la bodega real, donde se le mostrará de primera mano el proceso para crear Chardonnay fermentado en barrica. Desde el principio hasta el final del proceso, presionando las uvas luego hacia abajo en la sala de barricas y finalmente de vuelta a través de la granja de tanques y la línea de embotellado. Ninguna otra compañía turística puede mostrarte esto.

John is by far the best guide we've ever had. The experience he provided went far beyond wine tasting. Not only did we enjoy exceptional wines, but we also gained valuable insights into New Zealand's culture, history, and geography. John's passion for what he does shines through in every part of the tour, and he thoughtfully adapts the experience to your interests and pace. I highly recommend this tour to anyone-it's engaging, memorable, and suitable for guests of all ages.
Great day tour with a lots of variety. Picturesque scenery and friendly wineries topped off with a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience and tour with John! He was the absolute best tour guide and knew the best places to go that were not crowded and you could get the full experience without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. From the relaxing beaches and waterfalls to his great knowledge about wine and the wine making process, the day exceeded expectations and I highly recommend booking with NZWinePro for an incredible experience!
John is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and above all, flexible. He was able to put together an amazing itinerary at the last minute. The respect that he has among his peers is very evident and he was able to leverage those relationships to plan a memorable experience for my daughters and me. It goes without saying that the views were spectacular and the wine and food were top notch. I highly recommend this experience to everyone and thank John again for this exceptional tour!
Our schedule got seriously messed up when a cyclone swept through the Auckland area. That said, John was fantastic working with us to accommodate our schedule, and was able to combine our group with a couple who were touring with him on the day we finally made it to Auckland. The winery tours were excellent - we learned the history of the families who came to New Zealand to establish their businesses, and lunch at Soljans was outstanding! Our visit to the shore was a little rainy, but we still were able to see the black sand beaches and the areas where gannets were recently gathering. Big thank you to John for his efforts to make our visit to Auckland a pleasure!
John was the perfect operator, initially unobtrusively giving us an outline of our day, then honing in on our questions in detail. His knowledge turned out to be encyclopaedic: statistics flowing constantly, making our trip most worthwhile. Totally rrcommend him for the best experience, both for sightseeing and wine tasting.
Hi Ken, Thanks for your high praise. I am so pleased you enjoyed your tour to Piha, and enjoyed the rainforest, other inclusions and commentary. It was a pleasure to be your guide and I hope you'll follow NZWINEPRO® on Insta or Facebook to stay in touch. Best regards - John McFarlane
The beach was something else to see in person, pictures don't show how awesome the view is. The lunch and wine sampling was top notch. John with his many years of doing tours was very knowledgeable and made things run smoothly but you felt never rushed.
Great time. Beautiful drive great guide great wines at beautiful vineyards. Wonderful lunch have the catch of the day.
This excursion was absolutely fantastic. The views were breathtaking and the stops were made were perfect. John was the perfect guide. We went to two wonderful wineries and stopped for a spectacular lunch of fresh fish. John went way out of his way to make this adventure a day to remember. My sister and I had the best time and we loved every minute of it. I needed to buy a medical device and asked John where I can buy it. He not only told me where to get it, but he went out of his way to take me to this place to buy it and drove me back to the hotel. This man is an angel and we were lucky enough to have met him.
Very inclusive tour with beautiful scenery, great wine tastings at 2 local wineries, delicious meal. Guide very engaging and knowledgeable. Took in beaches, lake views, rainforest, waterfalls, etc. Be prepared with comfortable walking shoes, layered clothing.
