Matakana Art & Vineyard Experience
Indulge in a luxurious full-day private tour from Auckland to the picturesque Matakana Coast — a haven for art lovers, foodies, and wine enthusiasts. Begin with a visit to a stunning outdoor sculpture park, where large-scale contemporary artworks are set among native bush, tranquil ponds, and vibrant water lilies. Sample hand-crafted artisan chocolates, traditional fudge, and nostalgic sweets made from premium ingredients at a charming local boutique. Enjoy a relaxed lunch at the elegant Glass House overlooking a shimmering lake, followed by a wine tasting at a boutique vineyard renowned for its small-batch, award-winning wines. Round off your experience with a scoop of rich Italian-style gelato, creamy artisan ice cream, or refreshing sorbetto — the perfect sweet finish to a day of flavour, art, and natural beauty.
