If you are going to do a wine tour, this is the one to do - Everything about this tour was Fantastic. Highly recommended. The wineries were so great and the restaurant we had lunch in was so picturesque and food was delicious. And the cost of the tour was so reasonable. And a shout out to our tour guide Caleb who was fantastic and a great photographer as well.

Great wines, with a great local guide - A fantastic small group trip visiting four wineries on Waiheke (three for tasting and one for lunch). Our fantastic guide No’oroa also took us on a mini tour of the island, his warm personality and good humour made the trip a great experience.

Super fun day out - Excellent tour - highly recommend! Our tour guide Caleb was very charismatic and made the tour super fun:) I’ve learned a lot from talks during winery tastings at Mudbrick and Stoneridge wineries: even though I’ve been to this wineries before it exceeded my expectations. If you look for a fun day out - this one is for you and it covers the most scenic wineries. Enjoy 😊
