A nice excursion - The tour started at 3 PM, which was perfect for us just getting off the plane at 11 AM. Ardriani was our tour guide and she was a gem. She showed us around the entire island and obviously took us to the scheduled vineyards. Sue to the time of the year, we did not actually catch the sunset during our dinner at Mudbrick (great food and wine), but we did catch it on our ferry ride back. A nice break from Auckland.

Great afternoon out - Had a great time and it ended up being a private tour as the others dropped out. Adriana looked after us very well and our clear favourite was Postage stamp vineyard. Sharon was super friendly and the wines were beautiful.

Exceptional Winery Tour & Tasting! - This was a fantastic way to see the island by visiting three wineries and going the scenic route along the way! Sue was an excellent tour guide. We signed up for this because of the small number allowed on the tour, and as it turned out it ended up only being the two of us making it a personal tour! Sue was very knowledgeable about the island. We went to Batch Winery, Postage Stamp Winery and finished at Mudbrick Winery for dinner. Everything was beyond excellent from all of the different wines to the dinner at the Archive Bistro at Mudbrick! We wouldn’t hesitate recommending this tour to anyone!

Best day ever! - The scenery? Unreal. The wineries? Incredible. The vibes? Immaculate. And our tour guide Sue? An absolute legend. From the moment she picked us up from the ferry, she had us laughing, sharing amazing stories about Waiheke’s history, and feeling like we were on a day out with a friend (who also happens to know all the best wine spots). You get to taste incredible wines at stunning wineries, soak in the most beautiful views, and enjoy an atmosphere that is pure magic. At one point I genuinely considered cancelling all my plans and staying there forever. Seriously! if you’re even thinking about booking, just do it. Stop scrolling, lock it in, and thank yourself later. This is your sign to book now… you will not regret it!

Perfect outing - Susan our guide was very well versed in Wines and the Waiheke Island area - For us 3.5 hours and 2 wineries plus a delicious dinner with majestic views was perfect for the amount of time we wanted to spend

Lovely wine tasting with Susan T - Susan was absolutely lovely and wonderful in sharing her knowledge as a sommelier and as a resident of Waiheke Island. She planned a great itinerary which included The Batch, The Postage Stamp and Mudbrick Vineyard. She obviously had great working relationships with the winery employees and made sure we saw all the beautiful sites at each location and had enough time to enjoy the wine tastings and dinner at Mudbrick. She was wonderful to chat with and just a lovely person. We were so glad to get her insights into the wine, life in New Zealand and Waiheke Island, and just to learn from all the amazing things she’s done.

Paid for 3 tastings at premium wineries, only got two, and one was an inferior substitution - Jojo our guide was great. Stated itinerary listed three vineyards for tasting — Batch, Stony Ridge and Mudbrick. We only got two tastings — Batch and Postage Stamp. Batch was great, Postage Stamp was inferior wines. While we were dropped off at Mudbrick for dinner, there was no wine tasting there. Disappointing to pay for 3 tastings but only get two, and an inferior tasting was substituted in. We were expecting more. Jojo our guide was nice, personable and didn’t have control of the schedule. I wouldn’t go again unless I had them confirm to me in advance exactly what we were going to get. I assumed, wrongly, that the itinerary given at registration would be honored.
