Stirred or shaken; traditional cocktails hand made from scratch with love and care and of course fantastic ingredients.
Experience Auckland from a new perspective and follow your local guide down hidden laneways, some upstairs and some downstairs to truly exceptional bars!
We will meet at the Ferry building and wander through the old part of town to several distinct and very different bars.
Whether it'™s a quiet bar or a busy bar, whether it's a bar in a hotel or part of a restaurant or a standalone bar, this is a great pre dinner experience whilst familiarising yourself with the downtown area.
Meet the bar tender, owner or manager and hear the story of where they work and what they create.
