We had a fabulous day touring the Kumeu region with Ron. We tasted some great wines and had a delicious lunch at the Hunting Lodge. Ron went above & beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. His thoughtfulness, care and engaging conversation made our day very enjoyable & we really appreciated everything he did for us.
Great wines at all the wineries we visited. The lunch at the lodge was outstanding, and our guide Ron was the best! Thanks for the memories.👍🍷

The tour was a small group and the wineries were not crowded. The guide Maty was very fun, friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour.
We booked this last minute. Mix up for pick up point at beginning but the driver was great and so were the wineries.
Driver was awesome. Lots of tasty wines. Had a pizza at lunch and it was excellent. Entire day went smoothly.
Caleb was our driver and he was great. We visited some great wineries had a lot of laughs and he had a good playlist at the end a fountain of information.
We had an incredible time on the Auckland Wine Tour, and David was the perfect guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience memorable. David shared fascinating insights about the region and its wineries, making the day both fun and informative.
