Amazing Day Trip from Auckland

5.00Can’t recommend this tour enough! It’s such an easy day trip from Auckland and the island is beautiful. The wineries are lovely and we had a great experience at each stop. Great wine and great food. Nooroa was a fantastic guide! Though it would be hard to have a bad day visiting this place, he really made the experience all the more enjoyable. He was full of information about the island and so friendly and entertaining throughout the whole day. If we are ever back in NZ we will be doing this tour again.

5.00The wine tour itself was amazing, but the standout was our tour guide Debbie. Debbie gave us the most amazing commentary, she kept us all laughing, and gave a good balance of fun tidbits and anecdotes and factual information about the island and the vineyards. The island is beautiful and spectactular, and the sommeliers who greeted us at the wineries were very kind and friendly as well. The 5 hour tour was perfect, and we opted to stay for a little while longer at our last stop on the tour. Absolutely our favorite experience in the Auckland area!
Platitudes are well deserved on this excursion

5.00From the prompt pickup to the person service, jokes, stories, history Rob was the best! Wineries visited were great and the option to jump off at Mudbrick for a visit and our own way back was spot on. Highly recommended

5.00Great day out wine tasting! Guide/driver Noora was really informative, funny and accommodating. He made sure he knew everyone’s name, made everyone laugh and get encouraged everyone to get to know each other. Gave us a tour of the island and beaches in addition to the wine tasting. Visited 3 vineyards, all very nice with great views. Stopped at another for lunch which was a bit expensive but very nice. Had a great day out and would recommend to others.
Wonderful Waiheke!

Nuroa's Wine Tour :)

5.00John and I absolutely loved Nuroa's adventurous wine tour on the beautiful Waiheke Island. What a true gem this lovely island is and Nuroa, very entertaining and cheeky. Vinyards are stunning and the wine is absolutely outstanding. In particular we loved the lovely Italian lady at Stonyridge with her unique style of showcasing the delicious wines. It encouraged the group to interact with the wines on display and of course, we had to try La Rose, which we ordered. Can't wait for that delivery :) Thank you to Debbie on delivering us to the first location as us Aussies were late again ... hehe ... Nuroa a big thank you to you too, enjoy your trip to WA :)
