We had a lovely time in Waiheke with our driver and guide Oliver. Our favorite stop was Casita Miro, we also enjoyed Oliver‘s commentary and knowledge about Waiheke. This experience is definitely worth it!

Oliver was fantastic. He shared his experiences on the island along with its culture and history. He even provided a complimentary bottle of water and took great care of our newly purchased wines.

What a wonderful day spent on the beautiful island of Waiheke. We learned about the island, how it was settled and how wine became important. The 3 wineries we visited were fantastic. Delicious wine in different and unique setting. Our guide Oliver made the day come to life. He was charming and knowledgeable
