Description

Good to Know

Our Kumeu Wine Tour is more than just wine tasting — it’s a relaxed, full‑day experience built around exceptional wine, thoughtfully paired food, and great company. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be welcomed by friendly, knowledgeable hosts who are passionate about showcasing West Auckland. You’ll visit carefully selected local wineries where wines are enjoyed with complementary food pairings, along with a leisurely lunch stop that lets you savour each flavour without feeling rushed. What truly sets this tour apart is the journey beyond the vineyards. Before returning to the city, we travel through the rolling countryside of Muriwai. When in season, guests can visit the world‑famous Gannet Bird Colony and walk along Muriwai’s dramatic black‑sand beach — a uniquely wild West Auckland experience not found on other wine tours. Book your Kumeu Wine Tour today and experience Auckland’s wine country and wild west coast.

Snacks

All wine tasting, pizzas and Churcarie boards is included in the tour price. Craft beer or Gin tasting is available at your own cost.

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.

Top day!

We had a wonderful day trip and tasted wine on location, at several interesting wineries. Our guide, Peter, knew a lot to tell us and took his time, made a lot of effort for us and it was also very nice!

Response from ViatorJuly 22, 2026

Hartelijk dank voor deze mooie beoordeling! Wat fijn om te horen dat jullie zo genoten hebben van de dagtocht en de bezoeken aan de verschillende wijnhuizen. Het is geweldig dat de wijnproeverijen, de locaties en de sfeer in de smaak zijn gevallen. Peter zal het zeker waarderen om te horen dat zijn kennis, enthousiasme en persoonlijke aandacht hebben bijgedragen aan een bijzondere ervaring. Bedankt voor het vertrouwen in Coast to Coast Tours. We hopen jullie in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen voor weer een mooie ontdekkingstocht door Nieuw-Zeeland. Met vriendelijke groet, Peter & het Coast to Coast Tours Team 🍷🚐

Great tour while in cruise port

Our guide, Jeannine, did a good job of keeping the tour on time and providing interesting commentary, and the lunch was amazing! Our driver also provided interesting information about the Maori culture, and communication with the tour provider through Viator was prompt and clear. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from ViatorApril 13, 2026

It’s also wonderful to hear that our driver’s insights into Māori culture added to your experience, and that our communication through Viator was clear and prompt. Your recommendation truly means a lot to our team. We hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future! Warm regards, Coast to Coast team

A grand day out and worth considering if you want to taste local wines

Although we were initially asked to change our booking to another day which we were unable to do, we did the tour as the only couple on our chosen day. Maura? was excellent and very friendly as a tour guide and we had a grand day tasting wines and viewing the NZ countryside in a very relaxed atmosphere. It was great to visit small local wineries. Lunch as a pizza proved to be better than I thought. The whole day was very enjoyable.
