Discovery of NZ wines. - Great experience! The guide was very knowledgeable with a really good sense of humour. The scenery was just spectacular. We really enjoyed the view during the tasting. Really interesting to hear the stories of each vineyard and how they make it. We had a lovely lunch.

Must do wine tour! - Nooran was our guide and he was lovely. Native to the island and had lots of interesting information. Love the small group feel. My favorite was the Cable Bay. I wish I bought a bottle. Lunch was great! Get ready for beautiful views and beautiful wines!

Highly recommend! - The wine tour was incredible. Our tour guide Caleb was very knowledgable about the area and each vineyard, and was perfect for getting us from place to place. The full tour was well timed and we managed to fit everything in we needed to, and it never felt like we rushed. And we were back down to make the 4pm ferry to Auckland. The staff at all 3 vineyards were also very pleasant and knowledgeable, and the wine was amazing. Highly recommend this tour.

A Perfect Day on Waiheke Island - Our family had the pleasure of experiencing the Waiheke Island Scenic Wine Tasting Tour today, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Caleb! From start to finish, he made the experience engaging, informative, and truly memorable. Caleb’s deep knowledge of Waiheke Island, its history, and the wineries added a special touch to the tour. He answered all our questions effortlessly, offering insights beyond just wine—giving us a deeper appreciation for the island itself. His warm personality and enthusiasm made us feel welcome and relaxed throughout the day. The tour itself was beautifully curated, taking us through stunning vineyards and allowing us to sample incredible wines that showcased the island’s unique flavors. The scenic views were breathtaking, and the wineries we visited were top-notch. If you're looking for a wine tour that blends education, relaxation, and outstanding hospitality, this is it!

Fantastic day out - This tour is great, made even better by Nooroan the guide he was amazing and made the day perfect. Beautiful views from the vineyards and lovely wines. Just be aware that you have to get yourself to the island , we came over on the ferry and it was $48 each return. Top tip… if your tour is at 10.40am on the island, get the 9am ferry from Auckland but make sure your there by 8.20am as the ques for the ferry are massive and you may not get on it otherwise.

Lovely day. - Debbie was wonderful. The island is beautiful. The wineries were educational and relaxing. Beware of tasting the $1000 bottle of wine at the last stop. We paid $20 for a sip that wasn't as good as the other wines. The sommelier acted as if it would be complimentary when offering it, but it wasn't.
