Waiheke Island Wine Tour with Tastings & Gourmet Beachfront Lunch
Overview
Available languages
5 hours
Mobile ticket
A 5-hour island day with wine tastings at top vineyards and a gourmet lunch right on the beach. Your local guide handles everything so you just show up and enjoy. No rigid itinerary, no cookie-cutter stops — just great wine, stunning coastal views, and a beachfront lunch you'll still be talking about at dinner.
You'll visit three vineyards across the island, each one hand-picked for a reason. At every stop, you'll sit down for a proper tasting. Your Sommelier walks you through what you're drinking and why it tastes the way it does on this island and see why Waiheke's microclimate produces wines you genuinely can't get anywhere else. Then lunch — a gourmet beachfront meal at a hat-awarded restaurant, which if you're not from New Zealand is a seriously big deal. Think of it as the Kiwi equivalent of a Michelin star. Great food, your feet practically in the sand, a glass of something you just discovered you love, and five hours that feel like the best kind of day off.off.

4.00Tour guide was excellent. Lunch at 372 was super. Their venison and 372 pinot noir superb. Wineries wer just OK, and wines tasted so-so, lthough the Chardonnay at Cable Bay ws quite good and Burgundian. Wines—lower level— at Mud. Rick were a disappointment. Bordeaux blend “Larose” at Stony Ridge over priced.
Great day trip to Waiheke Island!

5.00What a fun day trip to Waiheke island! Plus WINE! Our guide, Oliver, was a blast! Very engaging and knowledgeable about Waiheke Island (as a resident himself!). Each winery we visited had excellent pours of wine and each offered a unique view of the island. Had a lovely lunch at 372 and great pours of wine. Highly recommend this for a day trip. Especially lovely when the weather is nice!
Worthwhile Wine on Waiheke!!

5.00What a wonderful experience! This tour with our guide, Rob, was the perfect balance of scenery, winery, fun and relaxation. The included lunch was delicious and such a beautiful venue and each of the tastings felt very personal and knowledgeable. Very worthwhile trip to Waiheke, which is absolutely stunning and our guide made the experience even better!
An enjoyable NZ wine experience

5.00We had such a great time on this tour! Our guide was Paolo (i know i didn’t spell that correctly - let’s say Paul). He provided all sorts of useful information about the island and its history. Lunch was fabulous! We also loved each winery, they all had their unique charms. The day flew by! I really appreciated that this was an afternoon tour as well.

5.00This was a wonderful experience to begin our time in New Zealand. We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day and our tour guide was amazing. It was a relaxing and informative tour and lunch at the Three Seven Two was some of the best steak I've ever had. Very highly recommend :)
