Itinerário
Vinícola Soljans Este é um vinhedo administrado por uma família iniciado por Tony Soljan. Há uma longa história associada aos Soljans no oeste de Auckland e seu vinhedo original ficava no subúrbio de Henderson, que coincidentemente também fica no oeste de Auckland. Na vinha de Kumeu cultivamos Pinot Gris, Chardonnay e Pinotage, variedades que se destacam na região de Kumeu. Os vinicultores e a equipe se esforçam para fazer os melhores vinhos possíveis para você aproveitar, para que eles obtenham suas uvas de onde crescem melhor. A Soljans emprega tecnologia moderna de vinificação, mas nunca compromete a qualidade, por isso ainda mantém alguns métodos tradicionais. Além dos barris de carvalho francês que eles têm para envelhecer o vinho, eles ainda têm e usam os magníficos barris de totara de 65 anos, de 2.250 litros, feitos à mão, para envelhecer seu requintado Porto Founders Tawny. Na Soljans Estate Winery, eles produzem uma ampla variedade de vinhos tranquilos e espumantes, há mais de 80 anos.
No The Hunting Lodge, os hóspedes podem desfrutar de uma experiência de vinho descontraída mas generosa em um dos destinos de jantar casual mais amados de Kumeu. As degustações destacam uma seleção de vinhos cultivados pela propriedade, com foco em Chardonnays elegantes, Pinot Gris vibrante, Rosé refrescante e vermelhos suaves e acessíveis - refletindo a longa e respeitada herança vitivinícola da região. Há algo aqui para deleitar tanto entusiastas de vinho experiente e aqueles novos para a degustação de vinho. O almoço é servido no Lawn Bar, um espaço ao ar livre relaxado ideal para relaxar entre as degustações. O menu de estilo share apresenta placas de charcuterie generosas com queijos, carnes curadas e acompanhamentos, juntamente com pizzas recém-feitas com uma variedade de toppings. Os hóspedes também podem desfrutar de festas casual e lanches, todos perfeitamente adequados para desfrutar com um copo de vinho. Com sua atmosfera acolhedora, vinhos de qualidade e comida agradável, The Hunting Lodge é uma parada divertida, social e memorável em seu passeio de vinho.
A Colônia Muriwai Gannet é uma vista espetacular! De agosto a março, cerca de 1.200 pares de gannets ninhos nas falésias ásperas e duas ilhas verticais 1. Assistir a estas magnificas aves com suas impressionantes alavancas de dois metros dominar os levantamentos na costa é verdadeiramente fascinante 1. Além disso, a vista da praia de areia negra Muriwai que se estende por 60 quilômetros é simplesmente deslumbrante.
A Kumeu River Winery é mundialmente conhecida por produzir alguns dos melhores Chardonnay da Nova Zelândia, muitas vezes comparados com os melhores Burgundy brancos por sua elegância, equilíbrio e profundidade. Durante a sua visita, você pode esperar provar Chardonnays maravilhosamente feitos, que vão desde estilos de propriedade frescos e vibrantes até expressões mais complexas de vinhas que destacam os solos de terra e argila únicos da região. Os hóspedes também podem ter a oportunidade de provar os excepcionais vinhos espumantes do rio Kumeu, feitos em um método tradicional com envelhecimento prolongado para bolhas finas e complexidade refinada. Esses vinhos espumantes refletem a mesma precisão e artesanato que construiu a reputação internacional da vinícola. NB.ESTA VINÍCOLA ESTÁ ABERTA APENAS 6 DIAS POR SEMANA, EXCLUINDO OS DOMINGOS.
Cervejaria Hallertau: Onde a cerveja é tão boa, até os seus glúteos farão um baile feliz! Nós adicionamos isso como uma opção para nossa última parada. Esta é uma degustação opcional e às suas próprias custas se você quiser estender o seu tour. Por favor, diga o seu presente na hora do almoço.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
Kia Ora Brenda 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! 🍷 https://storage.googleapis.com/mailerlite-uploads-prod/658364/Fd63l2BmKAkufzETZa2k1YZheaJ2J7wYqcFJzSVe.pdf Regards Coast to Coast Team
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!
Kia Ora Sharon 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 Coast to Coast Tours
I wish i could have given this tour the 4 or 5 stars it deserved. Here are all of the positives: The wine tastings were all very good. At the Soljan winery we met Tony Soljan, age 81, who brought the vines from Croatia to start this winery. The wines were interesting varietals and very tasty. On the way to the Hunting Lodge vineyard, we stopped to take photos of the picturesque Muriwai Beach along the Tasman Sea. The wines at the Hunting Lodge were again different varietals and very good. At our last stop, we tasted wines at the Westbrook winery where we were also served pizza. The wines were amazing. At each winery, the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. One of the reasons that we had selected this tour so that we could see some of the countryside. The scenery did not dissapoint. Now for the reason for the 3 star rating...the van that we were in was DISGUSTING. The seats were stained and the curtains were mildewed. I just hope that no one gets ill from breathing in mold spores! The PA system didnt work very well and for the first part of the tour we could hardly here the driver. I heard that it was a rental van..not sure why a rental was needed, but they should never rent from this place again if they want to keep customers. I would recommend this tour if they get a better van!
Kia Ora Patricia Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We truly appreciate the generous comments about the wineries, the scenery, and the overall experience. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your visits to Soljans Estate Winery, meeting Tony Soljan, stopping at Muriwai Beach along the Tasman Sea, and your tastings at The Hunting Lodge and Westbrook Winery. It means a great deal to us that you found the wines interesting, the staff knowledgeable, and the countryside as beautiful as you’d hoped. However, we are genuinely sorry and disappointed to read your comments regarding the vehicle. That is absolutely not the standard we hold ourselves to. Due to an unusually high level of demand on that particular day for our most popular tour, we temporarily hired an additional vehicle so we wouldn’t have to turn guests away. This is something we rarely do, and your feedback has made it very clear that the condition of that rental vehicle fell well below expectations — and below our own standards. Please rest assured: • All of our own Coast to Coast Tours vehicles are meticulously maintained and presented in pristine condition. • We have formally raised a complaint with the rental provider regarding cleanliness, presentation, and the PA system issues you experienced. • We will be reviewing our procedures to ensure this situation does not happen again. There is no excuse for you feeling uncomfortable in the vehicle, and we sincerely apologise for that part of your experience. Guest comfort and safety are extremely important to us. We truly appreciate your honesty, and we’re grateful that you would still recommend the tour itself. We hope that if your travels bring you back to Auckland, you’ll allow us the opportunity to host you again — this time in one of our own vans, exactly as our tours are intended to be experienced. Warm regards, Coast to Coast Tours
