5.00Our Waiheke Island wine tour was absolutely fantastic, and Glen was the perfect guide for the day. He was knowledgeable, personable, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and fun from start to finish. His insights into the wineries, local wines, and the island itself added so much depth to each stop. The tour was thoughtfully planned, with a great variety of wineries and plenty of time to enjoy each tasting without feeling rushed. Glen was attentive, engaging, and always happy to answer questions or share recommendations—his passion for Waiheke really shines through. What stood out most was how effortless and enjoyable the day felt. Between the beautiful scenery, excellent wines, and Glen’s warm, friendly approach, it was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this tour—and if you can book with Glen, do it. An unforgettable Waiheke experience!

5.00Started the day getting picked up from the Ferry by our guide, Oliver. He gave us a quick driving tour before heading to Vineyard #1, Casita Miro. BEAUTIFUL VINEYARD with delicious wine and food/snack pairing. Vineyard #2 was Goldie's. Beauitful views and delicious wine, but no food. Vineyard #3 was Mudbrick with, yes, even more delicious wine. Mudbrick was beautiful and busy, and the group had the option to either stay there for lunch OR Oliver would drive you back to town to get lunch elsewhere. We stayed and it was absolutely delicious. Oliver picked us back up and drove us to the ferry.
Superb vineyard tour

5.00Had an absolutely fantastic day on our premium wine tour! Glenn was our tour guide and he was a terrific guide showing us all around the island and you can tell he has a real rapport and trust with all the vineyards they take you too! We visited Casita de Miro, Batch Vineyard and Mudbrick and the views were stunning, the pairing foods were good and the wine itself was terrific, we didn’t have a bad sample all day and a real nice variety of wines on offer. If you’re going to book a wine tour around Waiheke I doubt you can find anything as good as what the guys here offer! Thoroughly recommend.

4.00The guide Oliver was great, very enthusiastic about the island. However, the tastings were not as good as expected except at Casita Miro. The Mudbrick was totally over rated, both wine and food.
