Excellent

Really well planned day out, but the icing on the cake was the stop off at the western beach!

Great chance to try wines from our back yard

A lovely day out with friends. Have got some new favourite wine to drink thanks to the knowledgeable owners and staff and had plenty of time to enjoy lunch. The Muriwai gannet colony was beautiful and our hot Alex organised the timing to make our trip work smoothly. Would recommend this trip to Aucklanders and those from further afield.
