Also known as the Far North or the Winterless North (Owing to its mild climate) by the natives, the Northland wine region is just 4 hours away from Auckland (the country’s largest city). As the name suggests, the region occupies the northernmost part of New Zealand, enjoying a vast coastline – nowhere in Northland is the sea over 50 km away from land. Home to the majority of Maori tribe, it holds great historical significance as well.
