Great small group wine experience on the island. Best vineyard visits and amazing tour with the local guide. This was my second time on this tour and I highly recommend it.

A fabulous way to get to know Waiheke Island and to go wine tasting. Oliver had a ton of information to share and each winery had unique tastings. Additionally, it's great fun to be with a group in the van and at the wineries and Oliver made sure to take us to great spots for views and photos.
