Oliver did such an amazing job showing us the highlights of the island! The wineries we visited were outstanding and were a perfect introduction to Waiheke wineries. Would love to return and try more!

A relaxing trip around part of the island that incorporates visiting 3 lovely wineries with tastings (included in the base fee) and then followed by lunch at our choice of locations (lunch at our cost). The wineries offered selections from their premium or reserve ranges, above what is often offered elsewhere.

A great day out! Our guide Melita was fantastic. She had great commentary and was lovely to chat to. All the vineyards we visited were beautiful. It really felt like we got special treatment with the best tables and knowledgeable people. It was just me and my partner on this tour so we were really grateful that they ran it just for us. Would definitely recommend!
