What To Expect

The nature of Waiheke is all the beauty you need and more and we introduce you to real people and real wine in natural, beautiful settings and we have some wonderful lunch options for you. Grant will be your personal guide for the day. He will greet you as you step onto the beautiful Waiheke Island. Once your small group of like minded wine lovers are all together your adventure begins with a drive up to Oneroa Village where we will stop briefly to get you into a Waiheke frame of mind. We then drive along the most beautiful forested back roads looking down to the sparkling blue water as we head towards your first Waiheke winery. We avoid the heavily used commercial tour routes and uniforms and pretentious buildings and focus on the small old school wineries where the people are interesting and the wine is gorgeous being made from hand picked grapes from the vineyard surrounding you. Every wine maker has a unique approach and our guests often comment on the relaxed flow of the tour and nice contrasting boutique wineries and the sweet vibe of this ancient Jurassic island. . Cheers!
