Join us for a Bay of Islands Wine Tour
The Bay of Islands is the birthplace of winemaking in New Zealand, with Samuel Marsden planting the first NZ vines and Sir James Busby cultivating sparkling wine on the Waitangi Estate even before the treaty was signed.
Come along with Paihia’s original wine tour company as we take you on a fun, informative trip into the heart of Northland’s winemaking region.
Along the way, you will enjoy the wines of the boutique Fat Pig vineyard, and the award-winning stunning Marsden Estate, where you’ll also be treated to a grazing platter. Also, no trip is complete without a stop at the legendary Makana Chocolates
This is small group touring at its finest, travelling in comfort aboard our modern air conditioned minibuses, accompanied by your passionate, knowledgeable Driver Guide.
If you are a larger group wanting to book, please get in touch directly and we can offer our group rates. Our daily tours are small groups, however we can accommodate up to 36 people on request.
*Please Note: Vineyards are subject to change due to seasonal availability.

What a good day thank you, as they say,
Don’t leave home till you have seen the country and great advice about dinner loved the Tipsy Oyster.
Such a great day out, worth every penny. Chloe and Matt run an amazing tour, the wines were awesome too. Can’t wait to book again.
A must do day out come rain or shine!
See the beauty of the Bay hosted by the most knowledgeable and friendly Tour guides and drivers you could ask for …
I will definitely book again this Summer!
???? We had a girls day out for a birthday celebration and what a perfect day!
Vineyards in the Bay of islands are far apart but Chloe and Matthew took the hassle away with lots of fun and giggles in-between.
Thank you both and see you next year!
