Indulge in Waikato’s Finest Wines
The relatively smaller Waikato wine region includes vineyards around Hamilton and the adjacent Bay of Plenty towns of Whakatane and Tauranga. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon produced by small vineyards. Visit the cellar door at Leveret Mills Reef in Katikati and the Mercury Bay Estate in Whitianga for a taste of the best wine and a casual lunch experience.
