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. I do hope you'll follow NZWINEPRO® on Instagram or Facebook to stay in touch Kindest regards John McFarlane

John is extremely knowledgeable about the production of wine. He has a personal relationships with wineries which allowed us exclusive access to a winery’s behind the scene production. You’ll come away with a new appreciation for how wine is produced. We had lunch at a beautiful winery, the food, and wine were very good. The staff were very friendly and courteous.We saw a wide range of beautiful country during the tour. John’s knowledge of the area was very informative. Be prepared to sample a lot of good New Zealand wine! This was the best tour during our two week cruise.
Our guide John was so knowledgeable, not only did we get to taste wine but we also got an education on the complex processes. So interesting and exciting to see the internal details of the winery. Thank you John for making the day special.
John is an exceptional guide for this experience. He possesses extensive knowledge of the city and wine, and he effectively communicated the estimated times for both his arrival and the return from the tour. We visited three different wineries, each of which exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend booking this tour, as it is sure to impress.

John our tour driver and driver was superb. Very knowledgeable about the wine industry and very familiar with the 3 wineries we visited. Jon above and beyond expectations as he went out of his way to find original Hokey Pokey ice cream and fresh cherries.
We’ve done wine tours all over the world, but this one was absolutely the best because our guide John knew everything about wine making he was terrific . he took us to the Gannet bird colony at Muriwai Beach which was loaded with gannets and their young. He even stopped at a fruit stand to get us cherries. Then he explained everything about the New Zealand honey called. Manuka, John made this Tour very interesting from the start to the finish. Terrific guide.
Wonderful day with our host John. Highly recommend this tour to anyone living or visiting the Auckland area. John's knowledge about winemaking was first rate.
