5.00This was a very nice tour. First stop was Mudbrick for a tasting of several wines. Then off to The Heke for a spirits tasting. You could also choose beer instead of spirits. The gin and whiskey were fantastic. You could also pay for attentional tastes or drinks. Then we went to Stonybrook and had a glass of wine and a charcuterie platter to share between the two of us, which was included. I bought an additional glass. Finally, there was an olive oil tasting. It was a very pleasant day, despite wind on the island. The island itself is beautiful and Karen was a very thoughtful guide.

5.00What a fabulous day! Tour Guide Grant was such a great guide. My husband and I had the most memorable day learning about wine, beer, olive oil and the Waiheke community. This is the best tour we have had in 5 years and we travel frequently. This is a day we will be talking about for years to come. A real memory maker for sure! We had to depart a little early to make an unexpected meeting and Grant was very accommodating and so professional and fun.
Excellent guide … small group … wonderful places visited.

5.00The trip is set up with wine and pairings and was amazing. The education we got and to be able to understand how to pair and the differences it made were fabulous. Beautiful settings and small group. Wonderful day and if you are looking for a great starter activity to overcome jet lag or catch on your way out absolutely do this.
