A Scenic Double-Decker Wine Experience on Waiheke Island

See Waiheke Island from a whole new perspective on this double-decker wine experience, where the tastings begin before you even reach your first vineyard. Cruise between vineyards and coastline with a glass in hand as your onboard sommelier pours your first tasting on the top deck. With panoramic views, relaxed pacing, and a mix of wine, food, and free time, this is one of the most unique ways to experience Waiheke.

Your journey includes stops at standout locations like Batch Winery for wine and a charcuterie board, a laid-back visit to Onetangi Beach, and time to explore Oneroa Village. The day finishes at iconic Mudbrick Vineyard with a final tasting overlooking the Hauraki Gulf. It’s a flexible, easy-going experience designed to feel like a day out—not a schedule.

Wine Tasting on the Move: A Waiheke Experience Like No Other

This isn’t your typical vineyard-to-vineyard tour. With tastings served onboard and elevated views from the top deck, the journey itself becomes part of the experience. It’s ideal for travellers looking for something social, scenic, and a little different from standard wine tours.

Free time is built into the day, giving you space to wander, relax, or explore at your own pace. Whether it’s a beach walk, boutique browsing, or simply soaking in the views, this tour strikes a great balance between structure and freedom.
