オークランドの葡萄畑の蜂蜜と黒砂のビーチ

The Concierge team and I at Horizon by SkyCity had the pleasure of experiencing this wonderful tour, and it truly exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Nicole, our Senior Concierge, for organising such a fantastic experience, and an enormous shout-out to John, whose passion, knowledge, and personal insights into New Zealand wine made the day truly memorable. The wine tasting at Kureu River Winery, personally hosted by John, was exceptional. He took the time to guide our team through the different grape varieties and taught us how to properly appreciate and experience wine from observing its colour and aroma to understanding how to taste and savour its unique characteristics. His knowledge and enthusiasm brought the whole experience to life, including insights into the winemaking process behind the scenes. John also went above and beyond by personally arranging a special visit to The Hunting Lodge, which kindly opened its doors specifically for us during the winter period. This thoughtful gesture made the experience even more unique, and the entire team genuinely appreciated the effort that went into making our day so special. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and we will certainly be recommending NZ WinePro to our guests at Horizon by SkyCity. John went above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better wine experience. Highly recommended!

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!

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!

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.

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.
