Auckland: Waiheke Wine Tour: 4 Vineyards, Local Guide, Great Day

4.9
(353 reviews)
Waiheke Island, New Zealand

5 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Waiheke's most booked wine tour. Four vineyards, sit-down tastings, and local guides who know every winemaker on the island. This is the day out on Waiheke everyone's talking about. Your guide's a local. They live here. They know the winemakers, they know which table to grab, and they know the little stories behind the island and the people who live here.

The lunch stop is Batch Winery — the highest point on the island — with the most stunning views, food, and wines, of course. Sit down with something delicious, a glass of something delicious, and just take in the views stretching out over the water and meet the other awesome people on the tour.

After lunch, more wine tastings at Stonyridge, then the grand finale — Mudbrick Vineyard. The most iconic vineyard on Waiheke. A final glass with the Hauraki Gulf sparkling below you.

After that, it's back to the ferry — or we'll drop you somewhere on the island to keep enjoying your day.

The best day out on Waiheke Island. Trust us
