If you have to pick one- this is the one. - What a fabulous day! Tour Guide Grant was such a great guide. My husband and I had the most memorable day learning about wine, beer, olive oil and the Waiheke community. This is the best tour we have had in 5 years and we travel frequently. This is a day we will be talking about for years to come. A real memory maker for sure! We had to depart a little early to make an unexpected meeting and Grant was very accommodating and so professional and fun.

Great day out exploring the wineries of Waiheke! - I'd visited Waiheke Island once before, the last time I was in Auckland just over 10 years ago so I was really looking forward to getting back and exploring the wineries a bit more this time. Couldn't have asked for better weather and an enjoyable day with our small group of 6 people. Grant, our guide knows the island well and took us on smaller road the larger buses couldn't have navigated to ensure we we take in the views of this picturesque place. We visited three wineries and had food to eat at each one - all provided lovely views, a variety of wines and great atmosphere. The only thing I would have changed was to take this tour on a week day as all the wineries were PACKED- it was a Saturday and stunning weather so a perfect day for wine tasting. But as a solo traveler I wanted to ensure that the tour would run and not be canceled if noone else signed up so I choose a Saturday for a better shot. Would definitely do this tour again the next time I find myself in Auckland.

Great starter activity in NZ - The trip is set up with wine and pairings and was amazing. The education we got and to be able to understand how to pair and the differences it made were fabulous. Beautiful settings and small group. Wonderful day and if you are looking for a great starter activity to overcome jet lag or catch on your way out absolutely do this.

A perfect day to taste wine - Our tour guide Grant was fantastic. Very enthusiastic and knows where to go. The visits to the 3 local wineries were excellent where especially the 1st one -Casita Miro - was exceptionally good. You could feel the passion of making wine from all staff working there. A must whenever you visit Waiheke island.

My Husband likes wine now - My Husband agreed to a wine tour for our Honeymoon even though he doesn’t drink wine, or any alcohol really. He loved the tour guide with intricate local knowledge and the food pairings were amazing. By the second stop he had not only been tasting wine and then letting me finish them, but found a pinot gris he actually likes!! Needless to say we purchased a bottle and had a really great time on such a beautiful island.

Great guide and great wine - Thanks to Caleb for being a killer tour guide - super knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us with the rain - dropped us off at our next stop and came into the wineries with umbrellas to make sure we stayed dry on our way back to the van! We enjoyed getting to try a variety of different wines and feel different vibes for wineries on the island as well as have other Waiheke spots pointed out along the way - recommend doing this your first day on the island if you are spending multiple - good way to get oriented and get some true local recommendations along the way.
