An absolutely outstanding day on Waiheke! This premium wine tour was exceptional from start to finish. We visited three fantastic wineries, each offering beautiful settings, incredible wines, and knowledgeable staff who made every tasting feel special. The variety and quality of the wines truly showcased the best of Waiheke. A huge highlight was our driver who was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the day seamless and fun while ensuring everything ran smoothly. His passion for Waiheke and the island culture really elevated the whole experience. If you’re looking for a premium, stress-free wine tour with top wineries and outstanding service, I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. A must-do on Waiheke! 🍷✨

Really enjoyed our tour - and I’m not a particular wine connoisseur. Guide Oliver’s love of Waiheke was infectious and we enjoyed learning about island life from him. The three vineyards we visited were all great (we loved Casita Miro). Had ample time for lunch and a bit of shopping in Oneroa. Thanks for a great day!

Oliver was very kind and helpful throughout the trip. He safely drove us around, shared interesting information about the island, and made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. It was a relaxed and pleasant experience, and we really appreciated his care and attention.
