Soljans winery, near Auckland, New Zealand, for buying a wine tasting including sweet and sparkling wines, and seeing the souvenir shop

 Near Auckland. Another Croatian family. (We visited Kumeu River winery for tasting the same day.)



Language Hints

The accents are easy to remember once you know. S with an accent becomes Sh. C with an accent becomes Ch. Z with an accent becomes j or dj or ge as in George.

I tasted a sparkling white which was good and a muscat which was wonderful.

Many wineries have no sweet wines to offer you so I was very pleased.

The shop is manageable small and compact but has a variety of tempting products. I liked the paua shell ear-rings, and the baseball cap embroidered with the kiwi birds and the 3 dimensional fridge magnets.

The restaurant was closed when we visited, so check opening dates and times if you want to eat there.
