TO AUCKLAND
Northland is a region that will stimulate
every sense. Not only is it the birthplace of
the nation, where European settlers planted
the first grapes, olives and fruit trees, but
Northland is also home to giant kauri forests,
miles of stunning coastline capped off with
iconic Cape Reinga. It is also the only region
in New Zealand where subtropicals thrive,
and home to the kumara, the multi-purpose
sweet potato. Therefore food and wine are
just the icing on the cake! This map is a
general guide to help you enjoy a taste of
Northland, from gate to plate.
