(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Soljans Estate Winery
Soljan’s Winery This is a family operated vineyard started by Tony Soljan. There is a long history associated with the Soljans in West Auckland and their original vineyard was in the suburb of Henderson which is coincidently also in West Auckland. In the Kumeu vineyard we grow Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinotage, all varieties which excel in the Kumeu region. The wine makers and staff endeavour to make the best possible wines for you to enjoy so they get their grapes from where they grow best. Soljans employs modern wine making technology, but they never compromise on quality, so they still retain some traditional methods. In addition to the French Oak Barrique Barrels they have for ageing wine, they still have and use the hand-made, 65-year-old, 2,250 litre, magnificent totara barrels for aging their exquisite Founders Tawny Port. At Soljans Estate Winery, they produce a wide range of still and sparkling wines, and have been doing so for over 80 years.
Coopers Creek Vineyard
An amazing selection of wines on display to taste. The Host Stuart is just amazing and the wines are very delightful. This is a must to experience.
Muriwai Gannet Colony
The Muriwai Gannet Colony is a spectacular sight to behold! From August to March, around 1,200 pairs of gannets nest on the rugged cliffs and two vertical-sided islands 1. Watching these magnificent birds with their impressive two-meter wingspans master the onshore updrafts is truly mesmerizing 1. Plus, the views of the black-sand Muriwai Beach stretching 60 kilometers are simply breathtaking.
