5.00We had a wonderful wine tour with Oliver! We visited 3 wineries, each one was different but we enjoyed them all! There were 7 of us in our group and another lovely couple. Oliver was very accomodating when we wanted to make a couple of slight changes for pick up and drop off’
An excellent set of wine tastings to three vineyards on Waiheke Island.

5.00We stopped at three vineyards and conducted a detailed tasting of the wines the island produces. The first with food pairing - all very informative and well done. The winery sites were in beautiful settings. Enough time was allocated to thoroughly enjoy the experience.

5.00An absolutely outstanding day on Waiheke! This premium wine tour was exceptional from start to finish. We visited three fantastic wineries, each offering beautiful settings, incredible wines, and knowledgeable staff who made every tasting feel special. The variety and quality of the wines truly showcased the best of Waiheke. A huge highlight was our driver who was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the day seamless and fun while ensuring everything ran smoothly. His passion for Waiheke and the island culture really elevated the whole experience. If you’re looking for a premium, stress-free wine tour with top wineries and outstanding service, I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. A must-do on Waiheke! 🍷✨

5.00Really enjoyed our tour - and I’m not a particular wine connoisseur. Guide Oliver’s love of Waiheke was infectious and we enjoyed learning about island life from him. The three vineyards we visited were all great (we loved Casita Miro). Had ample time for lunch and a bit of shopping in Oneroa. Thanks for a great day!
A Comfortable and Enjoyable Tour
