Waiheke wine wonderful - We had an excellent day in the company of Michael, our driver, guide and compère visiting and sampling the wines of three vineyards. The wines were excellent and well introduced and the lunch at the final stop was superb. We were a cosmopolitan group but everyone was great company. I would strongly recommend this trip.

Waiheke Gourmet Food and Wine Tour - We had a lovely day in Waiheke yesterday, site seeing with Michael our driver who was very informative, knowledgeable, friendly and easy going.
We did 3 wineries, each one we were given ample time to taste, look around and felt not rushed at all.
As it was labour day we reserved tickets both ways on the island direct ferry and had no waiting, no ques.
Would def recommend this tour and will be purchasing some of waiheke wines next.stock up
If you are heading over we recommend Ananda Tours for sure

A discovery in terms of framework and infrastructure.
Wine that lets you taste perfectly.

Nice short tour. - The tour guide, Micahel, was knowledgeable. The first stop, Kennedy Wine, is in a beautiful location. The second Batch winery is also in a nice location. The third Miro was interesting—sufficient food but not much protein. For the dollar, it could include another winery as an option to close the day rather than going shopping for an hour.
