Day
1: Waiheke Island (Auckland)
VIP Wine Tour
The Langham
(B,D)
We
start the
day boarding our ferry to Waiheke Island. First stop Jurrasic Ridge in
Oneroa. All wines are hand crafted by owner Lance Blumhardt. We enjoy a
relaxed tasting with owner Lance Blumhardt followed by a tour around
his north facing vineyard which specialises in Syrah, Montepulciano and
Pinot Gris. Lunch will be at Mudbrick Restaurant. In my humble opinion
Mudbrick Vineyards has one of the most stunning views of any vineyard
in the world. Whilst dining we will enjoy sweeping views over the
vineyards and out to sea with Rangitoto Island in the distance.
This afternoon we pay a visit to Man O` War where an exceptional and
passionate team of people come together to bring you unique world class
wines that reflect the distinctive treasure of land from which they
come. Their Flagship Black Label Range of Gravestone Sauvignon
Semillon, Valhalla Chardonnay, Dreadnought Syrah and Ironclad Bordeaux
Blend convey layers of complexity, structure and ageing potential. Each
we have lovingly named to reflect their history and exceptional sense
of place.
Last stop Passage Rock. Passage Rock Wines was established in 1994 by
David and Veronika Evans-Gander. This boutique winery is set apart by
its location and its focus on Syrah. David and Veronika's aim is to
work harmoniously with the seasons the sites and the people involved in
their operation to produce ripe, full bodied red wines made of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah grapes.
During our time on Waiheke we will also find time to visit some of the
craft and art shops that abound on the island.
The evening is yours
Day
2: Auckland
Sail and Dine
(B)
Today we have the morning to explore the city of Auckland. Enjoy
shopping in New Market or cross the bridge and explore the beaches of
the North Shore. The rest of the day will be relaxed with the option of
either walking on Rangitoto Island or taking a ride on an Americas Cup
Yacht or perhaps enjoy a round of Golf at Auckland’s Gulf
Harbour.
This evening dine at Clooney is without doubt one of my favourite
restaurants in New Zealand. The vision of Tony Stewart Maître
d’ has made Clooney one of the most relaxed and ambient
restaurants in New Zealand. Chef Desmond Harris compliments this by
producing meals that satisfy all who eat his cuisine.
Day
3: Downtown Auckland
VIP Foodie Tour
(B,D)
Just on the edge of downtown Auckland is a little slice of France, and
what better way to start the morning than a behind-the-scenes visit to
prepare our own croissants? The perfect cup of coffee awaits us at our
next stop to visit one of New Zealand's premier coffee roasters. No
foodie visit to Auckland would be complete without admiring the fresh
seafood on offer at the Auckland Fish Market. The deli at the Market
gives us the opportunity to check out some other specialty foods. Our
morning foodie exploration will finish with a delicious lunch."
The afternoon is yours
This evening we dine at the Foodstore At the tender age of 19, and with
no formal training, Head Chef Wylie Dean was so talented that he found
himself as head chef of one of New Zealand's best restaurants. Taking
off on a culinary journey, he landed in L.A. and quickly became chef to
the stars. Then, wanting to break out on his own, he headed to
Melbourne. After opening numerous restaurants there, he has now decided
to return home to lead the new wave in Kiwi cuisine at The Foodstore.
