Waiheke's most booked wine tour. Four vineyards, sit-down tastings, and local guides who know every winemaker on the island. This is the day out on Waiheke everyone's talking about. Your guide's a local. They live here. They know the winemakers, they know which table to grab, and they know the little stories behind the island and the people who live here.

The lunch stop is Batch Winery — the highest point on the island — with the most stunning views, food, and wines, of course. Sit down with something delicious, a glass of something delicious, and just take in the views stretching out over the water and meet the other awesome people on the tour.

After lunch, more wine tastings at Stonyridge, then the grand finale — Mudbrick Vineyard. The most iconic vineyard on Waiheke. A final glass with the Hauraki Gulf sparkling below you.

After that, it's back to the ferry — or we'll drop you somewhere on the island to keep enjoying your day.

The best day out on Waiheke Island. Trust us

This was a fun day of tasting and experiencing the Island of Wine. Although it was a rainy day, we enjoyed some excellent wine and our guide Debbie was fantastic!
Amazing day!

This tour was great, but not cheap. You have to take the ferry yourself and that fee is separate from the actual wine tour. Ride was short and very pleasant. Our driver Debra was a local hoot! We saw 4 wineries, tastings at 3 and lunch at one. Had to pay for lunch separately. Cable Bay was by far the most extravagant in spite of the hype Mudbrick gets. To me that place was a disappointment. . Some of the sommeliers were hard to understand, but all the wines were very good. We also had perfect weather which made the day that much more special. I would highly recommend the tour.
Great wines and great company!

This was a fantastic day made particularly memorable by our driver Nooroa. His informative and humorous commentary meant we got an insight to life on the Island as well as the wines. He made a real effort to learn everyone’s names as well. The 4 vineyards all had some delicious wines but the last two also had great sommeliers who told us about the wines and what to look for. I would recommend this tour.
Very good very fun I...

Great day tasting good wines and learning about a few wineries and the island. 10 am ferry was good timing - 10.15 one is too tight some almost missed the tour. Weather was great island was lovely and our guide Debbie was great fun. 3 vineyards to taste at and another place for lunch. All good. An easy must do in Auckland.

A unique way to see the scenery and sample local wines at the same time. The wineries chosen were stunning, the charcuterie board had a scrumptious selection of cheeses, crackers, olives and more, and more wines could be sampled on board the bus. Dani was a happy hostess and Sharon shared her knowledge of the island while expertly steering the bus on sometimes bumpy roads. You came away envying the people lucky enough to call the Island home.

Me and my partner went to this being complete wine newbies. We definitely learned alot and tasted some of NZ best wine. Our favorite was Stony Ridge, we really loved the Fallen Angel Rose Wine because it isn't too sweet and the flavour was immaculate. Airfield Red Blend was also a highlight and took some bottles home. Each spot took us around 30-35 minutes to complete. Wish some of them were longer. At the end, you may stay at the last testing spot at Mud Brick and have more of their awesome wines and fine cuisine. The tour ended around 3:35PM, just in time to arrive for the 4:20PM ride back to Auckland.
Great Wine Tour

Fantastic tour. Caleb was a wonderful guide, fun, funny and very knowledgeable. The wineries were excellent, finishing up at Mud, with Darren, who was a hoot!
