Description
Discover the flavors of Waiheke Island on a guided vineyard tour that blends world-class wine, stunning scenery, and authentic Kiwi hospitality. Start your journey with a ferry ride from Auckland to Matiatia Wharf, where your local guide - a Waiheke resident - will meet you. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of beaches, villages, and the island’s unique landscapes while learning about its history, Māori culture, and local produce. At three different cellar doors, sample award-winning varietals including Rosé, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Bordeaux blends.
The highlight of the day is a gourmet lunch at an award-winning beachfront restaurant in Onetangi. Savor a glass of wine with your meal as you take in sweeping views of the Hauraki Gulf and white-sand beach. After lunch, you’ll have the chance to stroll along the shore or dip your toes in the ocean before continuing your tasting adventure in the island’s picturesque Onetangi Valley. Each stop offers insight into the challenges and triumphs of Waiheke’s winemakers, giving you a true appreciation of the island’s distinctive wine culture.
Your tour is designed to ensure you return in time for the ferry back to Auckland, but if you’d like to stay longer, your guide can drop you at Oneroa Village to enjoy boutique shops, restaurants, or even dinner by the beach. With ferries running regularly into the night, extending your experience is easy. This shared tour is also a fantastic way to meet fellow travelers - arrive as strangers, leave as friends, and take home unforgettable memories of Waiheke Island.
