5.00Great tour and would do it again! Picked it because we didn’t want to do an early day tour. Stopped at Mudbrick for a tasting, Goldie Estates for lunch and a tasting, a quick stop at the beach and got dropped off in town. Took a quick cab from town to the ferry. Our guide was very knowledgeable, pointed out items and gave a good insight on the island while driving from place to place.
Great day out!

5.00We took a small group tour with stops at two wineries. Our guide, Nick, was an island native *and* wine expert! He literally completed a degree, post retirement, in wine making. We had great local commentary and superb wine knowledge. This is a lower key tour than many in New Zealand. My partner & I have joked that the NZ tourism saying should be “Welcome! Now go climb a hill.” This was very chill. The first winery was beautiful; truly like a movie set. We tasted four varieties. The second was a more relaxed site, associated with the University of Auckland. There, we tasted four more and were served a huge charcuterie platter! The second stop also offered a full glass of one of the wines in the tasting. Food & wine aside, Waiheke island is spectacularly beautiful. I highly recommend this trip.

5.00Grant was a wonderful tour guide for our wine and food tour. We were picked up at the Ferry building in a comfortable, air conditioned van. Small group tour. Grant gave us history of the island and vineyards. Our first stop was Mudbrick Vineyards. Beautiful location and great wine tasting and staff. Next was Goldie Estate with wine tasting and platter lunch to share. Excellent with great staff. We continued with a tour of the beaches and then to Oneroa for some shopping before we were dropped back at the ferry for our return trip to Auckland. I would definitely recommend Grant for any tours he provides
