This is a must visit if you are in Auckland and the weather is good. There are numerous wineries highlights for us are Mudbrick Cafe, Cable Bay Winery, Man'O War (although this is tricky to get to). The Bach Winery has a free bus to the winery from the ferry if you book it online. Beautiful beaches etc

This is one of our favourite restaurants - its not fine dining more smart casual delicious New Zealand bistro style food like Hapuka belly (fish) there is an oyster bar, skirt steak everything is delicious. Owned and run by legendary kiwi chef Al Brown. If you really want to make a night of it put your name on the list at Depot (you can't book) then go up to The Sugar Club in the sky tower which is a few steps away from Depot - you get an incredible view of the city from the top of the sky tower for free and drink some delicious cocktails (it is fine dining up here the food was just average the times we have eaten and very pricey)

This is a wild black sand beach fun to go to in the winter too for beautiful scenery there are a few bush walks around here including one at Huia. Make sure you stay between the red flags in the summer as there are some crazy rips at this beach.
