A Gourmet Food, Wine & Craft Experience on Waiheke Island

Just 40 minutes by ferry from Auckland, Waiheke Island offers more than vineyards alone. This curated Taste & Graze experience blends premium wine tastings, craft spirits, local produce and sweeping coastal views into one relaxed day. It’s designed for guests who enjoy variety, flavour and a slower island pace.

Travel between vineyards, a boutique distillery and an olive grove with an expert local guide sharing insights into Waiheke’s food and drink culture. Each stop showcases a different side of the island’s craftsmanship, from winemaking to small-batch distilling and artisan olive oil production. The experience concludes mid-afternoon, leaving time to explore Oneroa Village or return comfortably to Auckland.
