Your local guide will share stories about Waiheke, our discovery of wine and olives, our celebrities “world famous on Waiheke” of course and our little visitors (Godwits) who have chosen Waiheke as part of their international stop over. You will enjoy some food pairing wine tastings with fabulous views. Lunch will either be a shared platter lunch + glass of wine OR a main + glass of wine at one of our favorite venues.

5.00We booked this tour as a part of our honeymoon, and it was absolutely amazing! Nydia is a very knowledgeable guide and seemed to know everyone on the island. She made sure that we also had time to walk around the shops and beach during the tour, which was super nice. The wine and lunch were fantastic as well!

5.00You want this small group wine tour. Cami and her husband are islanders and know everyone. They share info about wine, food and culture and can add a few beach stops should you want to enjoy the ocean. We enjoyed distinctly different vineyards so you have different experiences. And the lunch stop blew my mind. Felt like being in Hawaii without all the bothersome tourists! Be sure to ask for a walk about to the local shops with your morning coffee. And for sure go get some tea for the road (and maybe some jewelry from Timmy Smith). Beyond compare and well worth the time and money. I would get married again just to have a party at the last vineyard! Kidding but you get my point.
Great intro to waiheke island!
