First, the wine itself is top notch. Great tasting varieties very smooth on the palate. Wine tasting here is a lot of fun and the food that goes with it is absolutely fantastic. If you can sort yourself out a box of their Pharos 2006, you won't be disappointed!
Second, and the great thing about this winery, is that it has a sculpture trail that yourselves and the family can go on. The sculptures are all very smartly placed along the walk, which first is a worn out trail, and then through some beautiful NZ 'bush' with ferns and the likes.
It is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. The staff are great and the Glass House that you can sit in is a great piece of architecture.
Check them out, about an hour out of Auckland. Very much worth the visit :-)
