A lovely day exploring Waiheke Island. We enjoyed our introduction to the vistas and history with our driver & guide Melita. The winery stops were great - enjoyable wines and beautiful views.

Had a wonderful time during this tour with Glenn as host. He was funny and very accommodating. It was awesome to tour the island and get an early start tasting at 3 different wineries. Each was unique and offered different wines with easy options to purchase & have shipped home. Glenn offered to set up lunch options at a variety of local restaurants. After lunch a meet up was coordinated with transfer back to ferry. Waiheke is a beautiful island, not to be missed! Enjoying delicious wines in a small group makes for a perfect day.

What a wonderful experience. Our guide, Glenn, was very informative. He took us on a small tour of the island before we headed for our wine tastings. The three (3) wineries were great. I won't say which ones were visited as to not spoil the surprise, but they each had great views of the Waiheke coastline or the local area in general. Overall, this was a great day spent at the island and I highly recommend this tour.
