text: Each tour has a maximum of 10 passengers. The tour starts and finishes at the Paihia i-site, pickup time is 1.30 pm. The ticket price includes the cost of wine/beer tasting along with a platter style late lunch.
  Our first stop is the Ake Ake vineyard, a family-run boutique operation set just outside Kerikeri, and here customers will sample their organically-grown wines, which include Chambourcin, Pinot Gris, Syrah, Chardonnay, Tempranillo and Sauvignon Blanc. Tour the vineyard and see how the grapes are grown before tasting six samples of their range.
  From Ake Ake we move onto Marsden Estate, which was started by the McIvor family some 20 years ago. Here customers can enjoy six wine tastings and a platter lunch in the relaxed atmosphere of its courtyard which overlooks the lake and vines.
