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. Waiheke Island is only a 45min ferry ride from Auckland, making this tour an ideal option for day trippers, with a tour duration of approx. 5.5 hours.

5.00We hit the jackpot with this tour. Our guide Cami who is a long term resident of the island was our guide and we had her all to ourselves. She was very knowledgeable and took us to see many beautiful places on the island. The olive grove and tasting was a great start to the tour - very classy venue. The wineries where we sampled wine and tasty treats were awesome. Lunch at Stoneyridge was delicious and plentiful.
Jackpot!

5.00We had originally booked the hop on hop off tour but at the last minute changed our minds and booked this tour. So glad we did. We hit the jackpot. Cami was our guide and we had her all to ourselves. She is a resident of the island for many years and therefore had lots of knowledge and showed us some beautiful places. The wineries and tastings were amazing. All very unique. The included lunch at Stoneyridge Vineyards was also delicious.
If you love good, wine and spectacular scenery with the perfect tour guide, this is the experience to go for.

5.00What an amazing small group tour of this beautiful island. Our tour guide Dean was incredible and gave us a great history of the island and current occupants. The vineyards and tasting we had were top class and lunch was also very good. Would highly recommend this tour company - cannot be beaten.

5.00Cami was wonderful! She was ready at the pier on the Island with a sign with our names on it and she was very personable! The tastings were really nice. Plenty of time at each winery and very detailed tasting descriptions. Cami was accommodating and really seems to enjoy her job!
Highlight of our NZ trip!

5.00Our guide was Cami- she has lived on the island with her family for many years and has great knowledge about its history and the vineyards. She was very pleasant and told us so much about Waiheke and the wineries. The day was absolutely delightful! Loved the 4 vineyards we visited and the olive oil tasting as well. The settings were beautiful!
This is small group tour....

5.00This is small group tour. Cammie took us to 3 wineries for tastings plus a lunch stop. She successfully avoided wineries with large bus tours, which was very appreciated . She knows the island well and gave us lots of information on daily life in waiheke and showed us some of town. Beautiful. I didn’t think ferry info was very clear. We ended up with most expensive ferry …wish I had understood options better. I should have inquired with Cammie in advance.
