Next, we’ll whisk you to Cable Bay, where panoramic views of Auckland City and the Hauraki Gulf create a spectacular backdrop for your tasting experience. Under the guidance of an expert sommelier, you’ll discover a range of distinctive wines while watching the changing colours of the sunset paint the sky.
