Our most popular shared group tour experience, ideal for food and wine lovers. The day begins with a visit to a boutique vineyard for a guided wine tasting, complemented by gourmet tastes such as Te Matuku Bay oysters and local Waiheke honey. Continue to the award-winning Allpress Estate for an informative olive oil tasting and an introduction to the island’s renowned olive oil production. At the second vineyard, enjoy a wine and food pairing, followed by a relaxed, family-style lunch showcasing seasonal flavours in a beautiful vineyard setting.
The final stop is at The Heke, where you may choose a where you can enjoy a tasting of small-batch craft whisky, or simply enjoy a glass of local wine in a laidback setting.
The tour concludes with the option to return to Matiatia Wharf or be dropped off in Oneroa Village to explore at your leisure.
