Hi Georgia,
Thank you so much for this amazing review.
I appreciate the detail and the feedback on the Vineyards Honey & Black Sand beach Tour.
For clients staying in Auckland, this is a wonderful tour and it gets stellar reviews. It has been extremely popular over the last 24 years.
Having worked for a winery many years ago prior to starting this business I learned all the wine making processes and on my tours enjoy imparting some of that knowledge and insight because I find it fascinating.
I'm so pleased the team enjoyed the tour and that it was a great scenic, wine and cuisine experience for them to be able to recommend to your guests.
Thanks so much for your positive feedback and taking the time to so eloquently share this on TripAdvisor.
Best regards - John McFarlane

Our tour guide John was wonderful lively narrator. He knows about the Wine industry! We got a behind the scenes wine tour!

The black sand beach was beautiful in a desolate way! Recommend this tour!
