The Essence of Waiheke Wine Tour

The Essence of Waiheke Wine Tour


Although your arrival and departure times are flexible, here's what you can expect from a typical Essence of Waiheke tour. You will be picked up from the 10am ex-Auckland ferry or your accommodation on the island and travel in a comfortable minibus to three or more of the top vineyards on the island, according to your preference and seasonal availability.

Vineyards may include:
  • Cable Bay
  • Goldwater Estate
  • Kennedy Point
  • Mudbrick
  • Obsidian
  • Stonyridge
  • Te Whau
  • Jurassic Ridge
An olive oil tasting may also be included if you wish. On the way, stunning scenery is absolutely unavoidable! You will also be entertained by a commentary on Waiheke from one of our experienced guides, all of whom are locals with extensive knowledge of the island, its people and its produce. The tour normally includes a two-hour lunch stop at a village or beachside café, or, for a memorable gourmet experience, at one of our top vineyard restaurants. Lunch is an additional cost and it is advisable that we reserve a table for you at the time you confirm your booking. You will then be returned to your accommodation or to the 4pm ferry back to Auckland. Ferry tickets can be arranged for you for $28.50pp return.

Suggested times: 10AM FERRY EX-AUCKLAND - 4pm FERRY RETURN
