5.00wonderful day! Glenn was very knowledgeable about the region and we learned so much about Waiheke Island. The tour group was small and that made all the difference, we got to know each other as we visited different vineyards and tasted some exquisite wine!

5.00Oliver was a blessing to my wife Kailey and I seen we visited Waiheke. He gave us many useful recommendations, informative history lessons, and overall was just a total sweetheart. His love for his home was evident, but it never felt like he was selling us anything. I’d honestly say this was my favorite guided tour I’ve ever been on.
Great time.

5.00The best wine tour I've been on ever. And i have been on quite a few!!!! If you're in 🇳🇿 this is the best tour. You will learn about the history of the island, wine, the local flora and enjoy a multitude of wine tastings with a small, intimate group. Glenn is the very best!
Amazing time

5.00Beautiful island! Justin was a great host, showed us all of the beaches and high points for pictures. Wine at all of the vineyards were amazing! Food at Mudbrick for lunch is a must.
Excellent wine tastings and fun day out from Devonport.

5.00Oliver gave us an excellent drive around the island, with many entertaining (some no doubt apocryphal) stories. Our group was a mere 8, which made for a very laid back tour. All the wineries were special and had very good tastings: Casita Moro, Postage Stamp and Mudbrick. We ended with lunch at Mudbrick, also very good with great views of the greater harbour, over Rangitoto. We were impressed enough to buy a couple of bottles for our remaining days in the area. Pinot Gris and Montepulciano, both somewhat unexpected in a predominantly Bordeaux-style region. Good things are happening on Waiheke Island, and this tour was well worth the additional cost over the larger group tours. Timing was also good for ferries from and to Devonport, on Auckland's north shore.
Beautiful day!
