5.00What a wonderful day! Nydia took us to some really pretty vineyards around the island and showed us around town - she was a wonderful host with a lot of interesting stories. Wines were lovely and the intimate group-setting was an absolute plus. Would definitely recommend!
Great day out.

5.00Great ferry ride over from Auckland. Was met by our host, Dean, who was friendly and professional and had a great knowledge of Waiheke Island being a local himself. All of the vineyards that we went to had great, friendly people and our shared platter lunch was fantastic!

5.00Great day on Waiheke. Our driver was very friendly and kept us entertained through the day . A small bus was a bonus with just our group of friends in as well. Lunch was in a beautiful setting by the beach and the weather was stunning . Vineyards were in gorgeous settings and great to have an option for a swap out wine for a beer tasting . Highly recommended
Enjoyable and fun

5.00Cami 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

5.00A 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

5.00We 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!

5.00We 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
