5.00What a wonderful tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Island and made the trip fun and entertaining. The three wine vineyards we went to were unique and wonderful. We had some very good and enjoyable wines. Well worth the trip! Our guide also suggested some restaurants for lunch and the one we selected (the fish and chips) was delicious! Thanks for such a wonderful day!
Best wine tour ever!!

5.00This was by far the best wine tour we have had. First, we found the Waiheke Island Wine Tours extremely good to work with prior to the tour. We had booked separately for 7 people. They were sold out on the 7th, but added another tour so we could all stay together. Melita was our tour guide and she went out of her way to ensure we had the best day ever. I can’t say enough good things about this company. Thank you for an awesome experience.
Wine tour from Auckland

5.00An excellent trip from Auckland. Our tour had 8 guests, so plenty of room in the van & was well led by Melita who entertained us with both her knowledge of, and anecdotes about the island. We visited 3 quite different wineries & tasted 13 wines - although the majority were red, we also encountered white, rose, fortified and sweet. Only real criticism is that while the promotional material makes clear that the tour cost does not include the ferry fare from Auckland, it does not make clear the size of that cost. If this were made clear then potential clients might reach a different view regarding the tour’s value for money.
Great first experience

5.00Great time touring the island and wine tastings at three great wineries. The tour operator did a fantastic job explaining everything, all with a sense of humor. It is a small group so allows you to chat with the other people on the tour . Each winery was setup for us and the winery people were engaging and informative on their premium , and great, wines. This tour was a very good value and I highly recommend it.
