We were the only two on the tour due to cancellations. I have to say our driver/guide Peter John went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing day. The wineries were great and lunch was delicious. The Gannet colony and Muriwai beach were spectacular. Thanks Peter John it was awesome. We highly recommend you and this tour.

We had a wonderful day trip and tasted wine on location, at several interesting wineries. Our guide, Peter, knew a lot to tell us and took his time, made a lot of effort for us and it was also very nice!

Great tour while in cruise port
Our guide, Jeannine, did a good job of keeping the tour on time and providing interesting commentary, and the lunch was amazing! Our driver also provided interesting information about the Maori culture, and communication with the tour provider through Viator was prompt and clear. Would definitely recommend this tour.

A grand day out and worth considering if you want to taste local wines
Although we were initially asked to change our booking to another day which we were unable to do, we did the tour as the only couple on our chosen day. Maura? was excellent and very friendly as a tour guide and we had a grand day tasting wines and viewing the NZ countryside in a very relaxed atmosphere. It was great to visit small local wineries. Lunch as a pizza proved to be better than I thought. The whole day was very enjoyable.

Excellent tour in every way
Four of us had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Jose. She was very passionate and informative, providing not only information about the wineries but also the city of Auckland and the surrounding area. Lots of time for sipping excellent wines, having good food , seeing the gannets and sharing stories. Highly, highly recommend.

For an out of the way time
Let me start by saying our driver was friendly and kept us on schedule.
If you are looking to escape the typical "tourist trail", this tour of Auckland’s smaller, Croatian-founded wineries offers a quiet, friendly alternative. The highlights were a delicious lunch and a standout host who shared a genuine perspective on the challenges of winemaking in a growing urban region—expertise we didn't find at every stop.
However, the wine itself was average, making the high price point difficult to justify. You are essentially paying a significant premium for the lack of crowds rather than the quality of the tastings. Unless you place a very high value on a quiet atmosphere, this experience feels overpriced for what is ultimately delivered.

Nice day out of the city
Small group is the way to go. Tasted some great wines and met some lovely travelers and locals! Tasted a few wines that could not ship internationally - so that was a shame.

Hi Brenda,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the small group experience — it really does make the day more personal and relaxed. It’s wonderful to hear you tasted some great wines and connected with both fellow travellers and locals along the way. That’s exactly the kind of atmosphere we love creating.
Just to clarify regarding the shipping — all of the wineries we visit do export their wines internationally. In some cases, they may not ship directly from the cellar door on the day, but their wines are available overseas through their official websites and international distributors.
We’ve attached the winery website links for you so you can explore and purchase online at your convenience. It’s great value for money, and the best part is having your favourite New Zealand wines delivered straight to your front door — a lovely reminder of your time with us.
Thanks again for choosing Coast to Coast Tours, Brenda. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back again one day! 🍷

Go for the Gannets
These were not the best wineries that NZ has to offer, but it was a pleasant day out and the visit to Muriwai and the gannet colony was spectacular!

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We’re pleased to hear you had a pleasant day out and that your visit to Muriwai Beach and the spectacular gannet colony was a highlight. The views along that rugged coastline and seeing the gannets in their natural habitat really is something special.
We also value your honest feedback regarding the wineries. New Zealand has an incredible range of world-class producers, and part of what we aim to showcase is a mix of boutique estates, unique varietals, and relaxed vineyard experiences that reflect the character of the region. That said, we genuinely appreciate hearing different perspectives — it helps us continually refine what we offer.
Thank you again for joining us. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another day exploring more of what this beautiful region has to offer.
Warm regards,
Peter
