North Island Indulgence Tour
Tourist Attractions
The following attractions are organised as part of the North Island Indulgence tour.
Vines to Wines
There can be few ways to learn as much about wine, as hearing it first hand, from the hand that blends it. Share wines with a local winemaker - sample their product, understand their philosophies and influences, and appreciate the entire production process from vine to wine.
Winery / Wine Museum tour
Take a guided walk through a working winery to see and understand the process of wine making. Learn more about the grape varietals, and the environmental influences that shape the wine. If you are lucky you may be able to enjoy barrel samples.
