The experience

Waiheke Island has 23 cellar doors, and this tour picks 3–4 of the best ones for you each day, which ones depends on the day and the group, so the experience shifts. You arrive by air-conditioned vehicle with a local guide who knows the island's wine scene, and the stops are arranged so you move between them without navigating or driving yourself. At each vineyard you taste 3–5 wines, which means you move through the range without committing to a full bottle at every stop.

The lunch break runs 1.5 to 2 hours at one of the vineyards, and you choose what to eat from their menu at your own cost. This is where the pace slows and you sit with a glass and the view. If you have a vineyard in mind before you book, you can request it and the operator will work it in. Children from age 5 are welcome on the tour.

A minimum of 2 people per booking is required. If you want to stay longer on the island after the tour ends, you can arrange that with your driver. Ferry tickets to and from Waiheke are not included in the tour price.
