A 5-hour island day with wine tastings at top vineyards and a gourmet lunch right on the beach. Your local guide handles everything so you just show up and enjoy. No rigid itinerary, no cookie-cutter stops — just great wine, stunning coastal views, and a beachfront lunch you'll still be talking about at dinner.
You'll visit three vineyards across the island, each one hand-picked for a reason. At every stop, you'll sit down for a proper tasting. Your Sommelier walks you through what you're drinking and why it tastes the way it does on this island and see why Waiheke's microclimate produces wines you genuinely can't get anywhere else. Then lunch — a gourmet beachfront meal at a hat-awarded restaurant, which if you're not from New Zealand is a seriously big deal. Think of it as the Kiwi equivalent of a Michelin star. Great food, your feet practically in the sand, a glass of something you just discovered you love, and five hours that feel like the best kind of day off.off.
