Auckland
is a relatively small wine producing region. However,
the largest wine companies are all based in Auckland.
During the last decade region has undergone a major
restructuring, with the growth of boutique high
quality producers replacing larger lower quality
producers.
Wine tourism has rapidly grown in the Auckland region as the number of boutique wineries has grown. Waiheke Island with its scenic beauty and the legendary status of its wines has a must visit destination. In recent years other districts, such as Kumeu, and Henderson, have become important wine tourism centres.
Production area 2004: 591 hectares (includes Northland)
