Exceptional Private Wine Tour: Informative, Relaxed, and Memorable - We had an incredible experience on this private wine tour! The entire day was well-organized, with pick-up and drop-off provided, which made everything so convenient. The tour was both informative and relaxed, with the guide clearly demonstrating extensive knowledge of the wineries and the local people. We visited some fantastic locations, each offering unique insights into the region's wine-making traditions. The attention to detail and the personal touch really stood out. Overall, a 5-star experience that we highly recommend!

Wine on Waiheke! - Such a perfect day on Waiheke Island! We were met promptly at the ferry upon arrival. Nydia was pleasant & shared so much info about the wineries & life on the island in general. We visited 3 wineries and also had a wonderful lunch board at The Branch. The island is spectacular with so many bays & lush vegetation. The wineries were each different but all delicious and scenic in some way! We hope to ship some wine back to the US. We returned promptly to the ferry terminal & were back in Auckland for dinner. My husband & I met a new friend on the tour as well - we were a small group of only 3 due to the off season timing. Highly recommend - don’t hesitate just book it!!

Fabulous wine tour experience! - We booked this wine tour as part of a birthday weekend celebration with a group of friends and we had the best time! Heidi was amazing from start to finish and offered to run this as a private trip since we were a group of 11. The booking process was nice and easy, Heidi gave amazing recommendations on which vineyards to visit and we loved each one of them. The tour was well organized & run and we had the best time exploring the island whilst tasting all the delicious wines. Would highly recommend booking with this tour provider!
