Margot was Amazing!

5.00We had the pleasure of being guided by Margot who was a wonderful tour guide. She was kind, knowledgeable and made the entire tour a fun experience for us. We were able to stop in the village briefly to explore before our first tasting and Margot provided fun and interesting facts about New Zealand, Auckland and Waiheke. She shared great information about the history and culture of the country throughout the tour and kept us engaged throughout. We had an amazing time and would love to return for another tour some day!
Perfect day out!

5.00Trip was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded my expectations. The island is beautiful and the vineyards (& wines) were all amazing and so different. I was travelling solo which worried me before I went however I met such lovely people it was wonderful from start to finish. The ferry ride to the island was a treat too. Our guide was superb.
Wonderful Day on Waiheke!

5.00This is a great small group tour. The wines were very good, and the scenery is outstanding! I highly recommend! Margot met us at the ferry dock, and hosted us at 4 different wineries. Each was unique and provided an excellent overview of wineries on Waiheke. We had a wonderful time!
Wonderful and Relaxing

5.00We had the loveliest time on this wine tour, it was the perfect way to spend a relaxing day! Nydia was a fantastic tour guide sharing fun facts about Waiheke and showing us around the island. The vineyards we visited were beautiful and the wine was delicious. Everything was seamless - our tastings were reserved so when we showed up everything was ready. The people who led the tastings at each vineyard were also wonderful - I learned so much!

5.00What a great day we had with our tour guide Heidi De Vries. We started with a great cup of coffee and then we visited four exceptional wineries, with lunch at Stonyridge Vineyard. Heidi shared stories about her island as well as the wines we tasted. We experienced true New Zealand weather cold, windy, sunny and hot in one day. Truly a marvelous and relaxing day.
