Kumeu River Wines

Wine tasting: Our guide from Coast to Coast Tours, Peter-John, loves his country and said he is very glad that his country is open to tourism again. He was very professional and shared some of the history of New Zealand, pointed out housing areas as we left the city of Aukland, and I could tell he loves the countryside best. He took us to several wineries. The wine country here is a lot like we remember Sonoma County in the 80s, personal and welcoming. He introduced us to the staff, who spent quite a bit of time talking about the different wines and sharing their knowledge and love of this industry and the wines. Peter also shared something with us of his family. He is obviously a proud father and also enjoys traveling with his own family. He has lived here most of his adult life, and loves it here. We were so glad to share this day with him.
