Excellent wine tastings and fun day out from Devonport.

5.00Oliver gave us an excellent drive around the island, with many entertaining (some no doubt apocryphal) stories. Our group was a mere 8, which made for a very laid back tour. All the wineries were special and had very good tastings: Casita Moro, Postage Stamp and Mudbrick. We ended with lunch at Mudbrick, also very good with great views of the greater harbour, over Rangitoto. We were impressed enough to buy a couple of bottles for our remaining days in the area. Pinot Gris and Montepulciano, both somewhat unexpected in a predominantly Bordeaux-style region. Good things are happening on Waiheke Island, and this tour was well worth the additional cost over the larger group tours. Timing was also good for ferries from and to Devonport, on Auckland's north shore.
Beautiful day!

5.00Oliver was an amazing guide, his commentary was informative and full of good humour. The tour was well timed to ensure that tastings and lunch were completed in a relaxed manner but also packing in a lot. The tour was excellent value for money. I would do this tour again.
Well worth it!
