Had a lovely wine tasting at the winery and tasted the local Syrah, Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinotage wines. All a little too dry for me but it was a great exper...
Not often I give 5 stars but Xoong is one of Auckland's hidden gems that is well worth a visit. The real highlight is the food - as it should of any restaurant...
