Beautiful day with Melita! This was the best way to enjoy the local fruits of the island. Awesome farm-to-fork cuisine, wines, beers, spirits and education of the locals, herbs, farms and vineyards. Plenty of time to visit, take photos, enjoy the scenery and spend time with new friends. We’ll be back! Larry and Judy

This tour was great. Melita was very knowledgeable and had great connections all over the island. We very much enjoyed getting a sample of all Waiheke had to offer. There were 6 in our group which was perfect.

Fantastic wine tasting experience! The tour was perfectly organized, with comfortable transportation and well-managed times. We visited beautiful wineries, immersed in wonderful landscapes, and tasted excellent wines. Melita, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and passionate, able to explain every detail in a clear and engaging way, without ever being boring. Relaxed atmosphere, pleasant group and great value for money. An absolutely recommended experience, both for wine lovers and for those who want to discover the most authentic side of the island.
