Wine & Vineyard Paraparaumu

Our Urban Wine Tour offers a fresh twist on traditional wine tasting, taking you beyond the vines and into the heart of our cities. This special experience introduces you to boutique, city-based cellar doors where creativity, craft, and bold winemaking come to life in unexpected places. You’ll enjoy guided tastings of premium local wines in stylish, intimate settings. Each stop reveals a new story, flavour, or winemaking philosophy, often in beautifully restored historic buildings or contemporary urban spaces.
The highlight is Smith & Sheth in Havelock North — winner of Cellar Door of the Year 2022, where we will have a tasting in their Heretaunga Studio. This beautifully curated studio invites guests to experience wine through sight, sound, and sensation. Every detail is intentional. Every pour, personal. Smith & Sheth offers more than just wine tasting. Every sip is paired with immersive story telling and a lot of heart.
The Urban Wine Tour is not your average wine tour. It’s wine tasting reimagined — stylish, intimate, and full of surprises. From tucked-away gems to award-winning favourites, this is wine country with a twist
