Auckland is a large and diverse wine region and is home to more than 100 vineyards and wineries.
The region is home to some of New Zealand’s oldest vineyards and is best known for its Bordeaux style wines – complex Chardonnays and mouth-filling Cabernet Sauvignons. Many of Auckland’s wineries are close to the coast and “New Zealand’s island of wine” – Waiheke Island - is a short 40-minute ferry-ride from central Auckland.
