Afternoon Wine Affair – Waiheke Island
Escape Auckland for an unforgettable afternoon on Waiheke Island, where beautiful wines, coastal scenery and exceptional food come together.
With a passionate local guide leading the way, discover three handpicked Waiheke vineyards and enjoy hosted tastings while hearing the stories behind the wines, vineyards, and island life.
A highlight of the afternoon is a beautiful chef’s set-menu lunch at Ki Māha, one of Waiheke’s most stylish beachfront restaurants. Enjoy fresh seasonal flavours with a glass of wine or beer, just steps from the golden sands of Onetangi Beach.
Between tastings, take in spectacular coastal views, beaches and some of our favourite island spots. With everything organised for you, all you need to do is relax, sip, dine and enjoy Waiheke.
Premium without being pretentious, relaxed without feeling rushed — this is Waiheke done properly.
