Auckland: Waiheke Island Scenic Tour 4 Vineyards, Local Guides
Overview
Available languages
5 hours
Mobile ticket
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.

5.00They should definitely do it. I do need to say Rob was no problem on Saturday it was one woman who didn't like that he was doing his job and the rest of us were in my opinion right behind him. He was trying to find out why we had an extra person (a free loader) and what was going on - and quite rightly so.

Bad Comment

3.00The wineries were good and the only thing that I can complain about it is that the sommeliers do not know the Mexican wines, and we received a rude comment from Stony Ridge Winery. The driver of our Tour was really helpful and in love with his job, thank you!, but I would ask to skip this winery Stony Ridge Winery and maybe pick another from the wine tour.
