Spectacular Scenery And Even More Marvelous Food and Drink
The “Gourmet World” shore excursion from Holland America included this tour when we visited Auckland on our Grand Cruise. It was one of the best excursions I’ve ever enjoyed and certainly the most delicious. Bruce, our driver, was a marvelous host who drove us to enjoy coffee and snacks at Boric Food Market first, then we visited the incredibly scenic Maukatia Bay with breathtaking views of both the gannets (thousands it appeared) and the dramatic seaside. We then visited Ellie at her Vineyard cottages for the best luncheon ever (bear in mind we’ve been dining on fine food for 70+ days on ship, and this meal was far superior) We sampled local cheeses (I would have told you I hate blue cheese, but I loved this one.) Delicious and perfectly cooked salmon followed by the best lamb I’ve ever enjoyed. We tasted three wines (generous glasses I might add) After a walk around the cottages named for the aforementioned vinos, we were treated to a pavlova desert. I will not have dinner on the ship tonight. Ellie was delightful, knowledgeable, a great chef with a fabulous sense of humor. I learned a lot, had a great time and highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes good food and drink and wants to see some of the New Zealand countryside and spectacular scenery.

This is the best experience ever.
Amazing! Elle, the welcoming host with a warm smile, expertly guided us through the experience, while Bruce, the knowledgeable driver and guide, shared fascinating insights along the way. Both of them were just incredible, making the entire journey smooth and memorable. The whole experience was truly perfect.

"A place at our table tour" truly a must do if you're in the city! Extremely memorable and enjoyable! 10/10!
Such a wonderful experience! Coffee tasting with a local roaster, touring the vineyard and sampling many different wines this was a very memorable experience and would 100% recommend! Lunch with an executive chef who described the food and how it was prepared - educational and entertaining! This is a must do in Auckland!
