What To Expect

The Sip & Savour Wine Tour focuses on tantalising the taste buds, with food pairings to compliment your Waiheke Island wine tasting experience. Come and indulge in everything Waiheke as you Sip & Savour your way across the island. On arrival to Waiheke Island one of our guides will greet you at the wharf to welcome you to our beautiful island. Look out for “The Wine Tasting Company” sign board. (If you are staying on Waiheke, contact us for pick up times) Our tour starts off with a scenic drive as you soak up the sights of our magical island, from galleries, shops, restaurants, vines and golden sand beaches. Your local guide will share stories about Waiheke, our discovery of wine and olives, our celebrities “world famous on Waiheke” of course and our little visitors (Godwits) who have chosen Waiheke as part of their international stop over. You will enjoy some food pairing wine tastings with fabulous views. Lunch will either be a shared platter lunch + glass of wine OR a main + glass of wine at one of our favorite venues.

Cami was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Was willing to drop people where they wanted after the tour and provided ideas of what to do. The trio was enjoyable with a good variety of wines on offer.
Great choice

Good choice of cellars and restaurant with sea view. Helpful and friendly guide. We visited Casita Miro which was the best of the three.

A wonderful experience. We enjoy finding the side of a place that feels off the beaten path, and this tour did just that. Cami’s warmth, stories, and perspective — plus the well-chosen stops along the way — made the day feel authentic and personal. The wine tastings and locations were excellent. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Waiheke!
Fun day of sipping and savouring the best on Waiheke

We had such a wonderful time on this small group tour of only 10. Margot, our lovely local guide and driver took us to 3 amazing vineyards. My favourite is Casita Miro vineyard where they paired cheese, olive, bread and flavoured olive oil with each of the wine we were tasting. Lunch was amazing. Highly recommend this small group tour from other larger group tour as it was intimate and the vineyards chosen were of high quality including the lunch venue. 10/10
Phenomenal outing, just book it!

Came here for our honeymoon and had a blast. It was just one other guest and our tour guide, so very comfortable. We felt well taken care of and everything tasted wonderful! We ended up purchasing some of the paprika oil to bring home with us.

We booked this tour as a part of our honeymoon, and it was absolutely amazing! Nydia is a very knowledgeable guide and seemed to know everyone on the island. She made sure that we also had time to walk around the shops and beach during the tour, which was super nice. The wine and lunch were fantastic as well!
Wonderful Waiheke experience

You want this small group wine tour. Cami and her husband are islanders and know everyone. They share info about wine, food and culture and can add a few beach stops should you want to enjoy the ocean. We enjoyed distinctly different vineyards so you have different experiences. And the lunch stop blew my mind. Felt like being in Hawaii without all the bothersome tourists! Be sure to ask for a walk about to the local shops with your morning coffee. And for sure go get some tea for the road (and maybe some jewelry from Timmy Smith). Beyond compare and well worth the time and money. I would get married again just to have a party at the last vineyard! Kidding but you get my point.
Lovely day exploring the island and its wines, highly recommended

I organised for six of us to go on the trip - so the team at The Wine Tasting Company thoughtfully gave us a minibus to oursleves fo rthe day. Visited four lovely wineries on a summy but blustery day and thoroughly enjoyed all four (although a special mention for Casita Miro which was outstanding). Saw more than just the wines - got a flavour of the island too which was lovely. Guide was brilliant and when one of us mentioned they were interested in olive oil, she added an extra stop at an olive tree orchard. Recommneded!
