Itinerary
The Hunting Lodge is a winery based in the heart of Auckland’s Wine Country with a rich heritage and a youthful spirit. It is the place where the Spence brothers, founders of the Matua Vineyard, created the first New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Driven to do things a little differently and keep the spirit of innovation alive, The Hunting Lodge wine range not only showcases the best wine regions in the country but also captures the spirit of New Zealand’s pioneering nature in wine – the search for something new and interesting. They also have a slightly unconventional contemporary style in terms of packaging and design. Each illustration that makes up the label represents a certain aspect of their site and winemaking process.
Over 80 years ago, the first delicate grapevine was planted in a West Auckland field. That grapevine grew into the Soljan family winery that is still standing today .In fact, very few wineries in New Zealand can claim to have a prouder winemaking heritage than Soljans. They are the third oldest winery in New Zealand that is still owned and operated by the original family. Five continuous generations have been involved in wine making. This is our lunch stop for a delicious 3 course vineyard lunch with a glass of wine, of your choosing, included in our tour price.

We had a lovely day with an exceptional tour guide, Liam. He was personable, accommodating and very knowledgeable!! We highly recommend this tour and specifically Liam!!!
8 of us did the West Auckland wine tasting tour - highly recommended. Each vineyard provided lots of information on their wines and provided a good selection to taste. The lunch at Soljans was delicious. A shout out to Gary at Westbrook and Matt our driver for lots of fun and laughter.
Dave, our knowledgable tour guide, made our day more enjoyable with his easy-going manner, keeping us entertained with his stories as well as a running commentary of everything around us. The staff at all the vineyards were friendly, and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We were pleasantly surprised by what we found so close to home, We will be back. Thank you.
I chose this wine tour because I thought it was very good value for money. You get picked up in the city centre and dropped off there again at the end of the day. The lunch that is included was superb. A full size main and dessert, which were both excellent.
Had a fantastic time on the wine tour! Great tour guide! Will definitely love to do it again! So many wonderful vineyards we visited. Lovely variety of wine tasting.
Highly highly recommended this is a must do. Even if you have never tried wine before like myself this was an amazing experience I took my mother, mother in law and aunty out for an early mother's day gift and couldn't have been more happier. I am definitely going on this same your again plus all the others our next one we are lining up is the urban cray beer tour ❤️ I also wanted to mention our absolutely accommodating tour guide David we need more people like you in this world you were funny accommodating made us feel very welcomed and just easy to be around I was thinking there was a certain standard but no it was soooo relaxed chilled and definitely an amazing experience to remeber. Thank you to our wine experts who gave us the informative korero on all the wine we drank stu from Coopers creek was my fave of the day and our beautiful Wahine wine expert Aria thank you so much I forgot our gurls name from hunting Lodge but thank you guys for the vip access too cool alright 😍 and last but not least thank to soljan for accommodating us for our lunch it was beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ would be back in a heart beat thank you for giving us an amazing experience ❤️❤️❤️
What a great way to celebrate a birthday. The drive to the vineyards took us by a forest and some country bucolic scenery. Our guide was very helpful and informative. The staff at the wineries explained the subtleties of their various wines and how to pair the wine with various foods. Thank you to all involved. The Hunting Lodge wine was so delicious! It's a great tour to do and discover west Auckland.
Fabulous day out at beautiful Kumue wineries. David our host went above and beyond, he was knowledgeable and a really nice man. Would highly recommend this trip
Amazing service !! Very knowledgeable and we all had an amazing day out!! Would highly recommend even if your not a wine lover !! Food was amazing to
Wonderful day tasting wine in Kumeu with Dave as our tour guide. We went to three different wineries with a beautiful three course lunch at Soljans. The whole day was perfectly organised, Dave was very knowledgeable of the local wines and everything was delicious. I highly recommend this tour and would love to do it again.
Such a great day! Each location we went to was very welcoming and our host was great. Great to visit places close to home that I had never been to before!
Perfect day out visiting 4 beautiful wineries in Auckland. The wine tastings were very generous at each destination and the lunch was delicious. David our tour guide was very informative and organised, making it a super relaxing and fun day out for our group of ladies. Will definitely be booking again and recommend for anyone who likes wine!
Lovely day! All planned out to perfection. David was great and knows so much about the region and wines. Will be booking again for sure!
Great day out! Excellent tour guide who was knowledgeable but not overbearing. Would highly recommend.
Thoroughly enjoyed this day trip - I really recommend it! It was such a fun way to spend the day with friends. The wine was great, lunch was excellent and David was a very knowledgeable, friendly host. Couldn't have been better!
David was an exceptional tour guide. Could not have asked for a better person. We came from Canada and were only expecting him to talk about wine. We also got an in depth history on Auckland. He went above and beyond. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed!!
Brilliant day out! I recommend any wine lovers take this tour. David was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. The wine and food were delicious. Such a fun day out with friends.
The tour guide was knowledgeable snd affable and made the outing interesting. The selection of venues was well considered.
Our driver Dave was fantastic! Made the day fun and relaxed! He was very knowledgeable about the area and the wine. A great day out with family! Great wines, yummy food. An all round WIN!
What a great day, Mike our tour guide was a awesome knowledgeable guy and gave us so much information on our tour, the wineries were amazing and we learnt so much about wine, not just how to drink it 😂. All in all it was a wonderful day and definitely worth doing.
It was so easy being collected from our hotel. Mike had a lovely clean high viewing bus perfect for relaxing and taking in the view and lots of knowledge from Mike along the way. Would highly recommend a day trip to break up a city break and get out and see something different.
Great day out, excellent choice of winery's and fantastic service thanks again see you next time were back.in the city
A most enjoyable day discovering the vineyard gems, on the fringe of Auckland. A perfect winter outing, as at each vineyard we were warmly welcomed with very generous tastings and a fabulous lunch. Fine wine and great company - that's a winning combination. Highly recommended.
The whole tour was fabulous - the tour guide shared lots of interesting local stories, was entertaining and really accommodating as far as tailoring the day to suit the group. We loved the wine tasting and some extra sightseeing that he squeezed in. I couldn't recommend Dave and the team more highly - this tour rates with the best i have been on anywhere in NZ or overseas (and I've done many).
Dave, the tour guide exceeded our expectation. He is very knowledgeable and knows the wine tour details very well and detailed. We'll definitely do this tour again and I would recommend this wine tour to my family, friends, and colleagues.
We had an awesome day celebrating one of our friends Birthdays. The tour guides, the tasting experience and the food was absolutely lovely. We highly recommend it!!
Alex Lawton is by far the best tour guide we have ever encountered! We have done wine tours around Europe and queenstown and he stands out like no other. His friendly and personable deemer makes you feel like he's a bro is like no other. If you choose to tour with this company ask for Alex. Thank you for a great experience and a bunch of memories.
This tour and experience was incredible - every details from beginning to end was made so easy by David, and with a large group of 23 ladies it was an amazing day out! Our chaffeurs were awesome and easy going and prompt in helping us get from places to the next - and very amenable with a few random stops when needed! This tour was awesome value and I would definitely do this again and again with new crews!
Amazing day, the best service and top quality wine! Loved each winery we visited and lunch was fantastic! Our tour guide David was super knowledgeable and hospitable. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun day out getting to see the vineyards that Auckland has to offer!
David our driver and tour guide had excellent knowledge as well as fun and was very enthusiastic. It was perfect to be driven from vineyard to vineyard while ‘over the limit’ !
My husband and I did a Wine Tour in Auckland with David. He is one of the best tour guides we have had so far. He is an amazing guider, friendly and professional. Also, he has an incredible knowledge of wines and all the areas that we passed by. We have plans to do this tour again with some friends as we loved it so much. Thank you David. Success for you & business! See you in the near future. ;-) Elizandra & Rodrigo
The most fun and relaxing day I have had. Our tour guide gave us interesting facts while we were driving, took us to beautiful sceneries and made sure we got served a delicious lunch. We were relaxed and had no worry in the world while we were in our tour guide's capable hands. I highly recommend the Auckland winery day trip to anyone looking for a stress free fun day out.
