We had a really enjoyable time on the premium wine tour. Our guide Oliver was great. We learned so much about Waiheke Island from him and he was hilarious. He took us to his three favorite wineries and we enjoyed them all! We highly recommend this tour.

Waiheke Island is beautiful, and well worth a visit. We liked the small group and enjoyed the three wineries we visited particularly the family owned Casita Miro. Glen was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide but be warned he has a dry sense of humour which can be off putting until you realize he is joking.
