Classic Wine & Food Tour
Matakana Coast wine is very exclusive – with some still embracing a traditional hand-picked harvest, most is made in small quantities and many are not available on the mass market.
We’ve carefully selected three Matakana Coast vineyards so that you can discover a range from the highly polished to the unconventional. Matakana Coast is known for not just one notable wine, but for many boutique, award-winning wines from Chardonnay to Dolcetto. You may discover a new variety or rediscover an old variety being made a new way. Our knowledgeable local guide introduces you to each winemaker personally: down-to-earth Kiwis with a unique flair, passion and story. The Classic Matakana Wine Tour includes visits to three vineyards and visits to your choice of two local food producers (options include artisan cheese, handmade chocolate, locally harvested honey, fresh oysters and ice-cream).

“First let us say Liz was a fantastic tour guide. We had our own personal tour guide in our own van. This was such a relief not to be stuck on a large tour bus like some other tours. Liz was very knowledgeable of all three vineyards we visited. Great wine tasting. Great lunch, and great other special stops. She really surprised us by buying us a pint of some of the best strawberries we have ever had. It was great to get outside of Auckland after a week of conference discussions.” - Susan & Lars
