Experience the flavours of Waiheke Island, a picturesque destination known for its wines, on a vineyard tour that includes lunch at an award-winning restaurant located right across from the beach. It's not every day that you get to dine with a beachfront view!

As you explore, take in the stunning sights of the island's beaches, villages, and homes while gaining insights into the local culture, history, geography, and Maori traditions. You'll have the opportunity to sample a variety of Waiheke wines, including Rosé, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, sparkling wine, and blends of Syrah and Bordeaux.
