Waiheke's most booked wine tour — and for good reason! Three stunning vineyards, fabulous wine tastings, breathtaking scenery and local guides who know the island inside out.

Our guides actually live here! They know the winemakers, the best spots and all those little stories that make Waiheke so special. Expect great wine, plenty of laughs and a genuine taste of island life.

Enjoy a relaxed lunch at Batch Winery or beachfront Charley Farley's, depending on availability. Lunch is at your own cost, so choose what takes your fancy, sit back and soak up those gorgeous views.

Then it's off to Stonyridge for more wine tasting before our grand finale at the iconic Mudbrick Vineyard, famous for its beautiful gardens and spectacular views.

Afterwards, we'll return you to the ferry or drop you somewhere on the island to keep exploring if thats your wish.

Great wines, beautiful places, brilliant local guides and plenty of laughs. That's how we do Waiheke!
