5.00Choose this tour to celebrate my birthday and it was a perfect day with Nick and wonderful people around the world! Would be great if everyone at the wineries were as nice and welcoming as Nikki at Kennedy Point. Sad oysters were not provided but understand. Idea to be a little warmer and more personable, instead of having guests walk into the perfect set up, winery host talks for 30 seconds and disappear. Revisiting favorites and telling tales makes for far better and endearing fans of your wine! (Pass this onto Josh at Batch.) Casita Miro was wonderful food, wine, and location. Great day and education with Nick in the bus - well done! Really enjoyed it again - if even a repeat trip. Can't wait to welcome Nick in Oregon, soon and return some favors for his kind hospitality of this magical place in the world :)
Great wine tour

5.00This wine tour is a must! Nick was a great tour guide and wine connoisseur. We went to 3 boutique wineries and had a wonderful lunch. Small group was also a plus!!
This was a relaxed tour...

5.00This was a relaxed tour visiting three of Waiheke Island’s wineries with some very nice (predominantly red and rose) wines and a delicious lunch. Our driver and guide, Michael was friendly and informative and we really appreciated his laidback Kiwi style. We are Aucklanders while the rest of the group were from overseas and they all really enjoyed the tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Auckland.
Do not miss this tour!

5.00Outstanding. Do not go to Auckland and NOT do this tour. Auckland is just another big city but Waiheke Island is very special and this tour gives a perfect overview in a day.
Book!!

5.00First time traveling to New Zealand and looking for some fun excursions - this tour did not disappoint! Definitely a highlight of our trip. We loved getting to see various wineries, all with their own unique style. Craig our tour guide was so great - very knowledgeable, charismatic, and made the tour that much more enjoyable!
