Luxurious wines inspired by the grand crus of Only thirty minutes from Auckland's international airport, Puriri Hills Vineyard and Lodge is set in the green rolling hills southeast of the city, outside of the village of Clevedon. It is a wonderful destination for travellers and wine lovers alike. From the main road, a long driveway climbs past vineyards which produced their first handmade, blended red wine in 1999. Grown and produced entirely on the property, the wines are gaining recognition as serious contenders to the best right bank Bordeaux. Now Open for Tastings and Sales on Weekends! 11am - 4pm The lodge accommodation comprises one luxurious four room suite with exclusive access for guests to all the activities of the property. The scenery is spectacular. From the house you look north across the islands of the Hauraki Gulf to the craggy hills of the Coromandel Peninsula . To the east lie the Wairoa River Valley and the Hunua Ranges. Horses, cattle and sheep graze the steep paddocks, and the sun sets behind a stand of native forest. Puriri Hills takes its name from the native puriri trees growing on the 93 acre property. There are private walks through the vineyards, farmland and native bush from which this uniquely wild, yet gentle, countryside can be appreciated. |
