Mullarkey Tours

Description

Mullarkey Tours offer a Wine Tour for visitors to the Bay of Islands.

The Bay of Islands is one of New Zealand’s most visited tourist destinations and famous for its beaches, scenery and is rich in both Maori culture and early European history.

Each tour has a maximum of 11 passengers. The tour starts at the Paihia I-site, pickup time is 12.30 pm, we also pickup in Kerikeri (BP Service Station) at 1.00pm. 

Our first stop is the Fat Pig Vineyard which is one of the older vineyards in the Kerikeri area. The range includes Fat Pig Bubbles 2022, Fat Pig White Diamond 2022, Fat Pig Rosé 2022, Fat Pig Sauvignon Blanc 2021, S&J Chardonnay 2018.

Our next stop is the Sovrano Estate vineyard, a family-run boutique operation which is located just outside Kerikeri. 

Here customers will sample their organically grown wines, which include Chambourcin, Pinot Gris, Syrah, Chardonnay, Tempranillo, and Sauvignon Blanc. 

A recent addition is a range of Limoncello liqueurs which are made by Andrea and Marzia Loggia (Estate Owners) who have a rich history in liqueur making.

While delicious on its own, Sovrano Limoncello is a versatile liqueur. It’s the perfect touch to cocktails and desserts 

Our final stop is Marsden Estate, which was started by the McIvor family some 20 years ago. Here customers can enjoy six wine tastings plus a platter lunch in the relaxed atmosphere of its courtyard which overlooks the lake and vines.

From here we take customers back to either Kerikeri or the Paihia I-site.
