★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Boutique Private Wineries Tour of Matakana Scenic Coast is a Must!
I had a short holiday in Auckland with 2 friends and wanted to include a day wine tour but didn't want the hassle of hiring a car and not being able to enjoy the tastings.
We stumbled across NZWinePro's website and booked a day tour of Auckland wineries. Communication was fast, friendly and efficient and everything was sorted very quickly.
Our guide, John, picked us up from our hotel on time and in a very nice, clean, and well appointed 4WD. John was an absolute delight and very knowledgeable about wines and the region and it's history. He stopped in various places to show us little gems around the coast - lots of things we would never have known to look for if we had driven ourselves. One of my friends on the tour is from Auckland and said she had no idea about all the little places to go and things to see.
It was lovely to have a private tour and not have to deal with other tourists. John was also able to include impromptu stops for us as required.
The tour included several stunning wineries and cheese makers, an amazing lunch, some boutique shopping and some stops at historic sites and places of natural beauty along the journey. The portions at the wine tastings were all very generous - I have done many wine tours in Australia and they only give you a tiny sip! All of the tastings John took us to were generous in size and wineries were well informed ahead of our visit and ready to receive us for a personal tasting with the winery owners. John was also able to advise us on customs issues what we could and could not take back to Australia in our luggage. He also had access to a fridge if we needed to keep anything chilled rather than stored in a hot car (less of an issue for us as it was May but definitely necessary in Summer).
I can't recommend this tour enough - our host John was a delight, value for money was outstanding and we had the most wonderful day. And of course, NZ wines are outstanding - we bought quite a few bottles to enjoy back home. I will be recommending him to my friends and business colleagues.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My friends and I were planning a girls winery trip to Waiheke! We reached out to John from NZ Wine Pro as I had heard he offered a tour and would take us from Hamilton! The over all experience was amazing! He was so accommodating with helping us plan our trip and personalising it for us, sorted out the ferry and drove us around the island. Was such a good idea as we didn’t have to worry about one of us missing out on the wines or paying far too much in taxis over there! I don’t know why we had never done this before. John was so knowledgeable about the island too which was an added experience and very reasonably priced which meant more wine shopping! We all loved it and are already planning our next trip with him. Thank you John!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ John was an absolute professional and such an amazing host.
We couldn't have asked for a better person to take us around Muriwai, every single one us had an amazing time. I would 100% recommend NZ Wine Pro from the moment I made contact to the delivery on the day it was amazing!

The perfect way to spend a special occasion or a day trip in Auckland.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a great afternoon out with John touring vineyards and visiting the gannet colony. John was very knowledgeable about the birds and knew the vineyards, their wines and processes well. He went out of his way to make sure the day was fun and enjoyable and we will definitely try and arrange another day out with him in the future.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What an amazing day in our own backyard! We did the Auckland wineries with John who was so welcoming, knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the whole day. The shuttle was comfortable and smooth trips as we visited some beautiful wineries who were also very welcoming. Thanks John we will see you again for another tour in near future.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a really enjoyable time during the weekend visiting a couple of the great wineries out in West Auckland. John was a very welcoming and easygoing yet experienced host, really easy to talk to. The plans for the day were also flexible - we were able to choose which places we wanted to visit after a brief introduction of each. As mentioned by others, it was clear John was very well-versed in the local wines and had good relationships with all of the wineries, so I would certainly recommend a tour with John to anyone else!
