Why drink at one watering hole, when you can head to two, three, six or more? That's always been the motivation behind everyone's favourite boozy journey, aka a pub crawl. And, it's the exact same type of thinking behind the Urban Wine Walk. Taking a wander around Auckland, it's the bar-hopping excuse every vino lover needs — if you need an excuse, that is.

From midday until 4pm on Saturday, 8 May, you'll saunter around Takapuna — and between the likes of Nanam, The Elephant Wrestler, Tok Tok, Regatta, Madam Woo and more — sampling up to 27 different wines and having a mighty fine time. As for the tipples, they'll be taken care of by Te Mata Estate, Spy Valley, Soho Wines, Framingham and others.

Tickets cost $69 plus booking fee and include 27 tastings and a food voucher to spend at your selected starting venue. This moving cellar door will not only serve up wine tastings, but also your own tasting glass — plus a voucher for another beverage, and a guide to help you plan your mosey between bars.
