Guided Vineyard Experience on Waiheke Island

Just 40 minutes by ferry from Auckland, Waiheke Island is known for boutique vineyards, coastal scenery and premium cool-climate wines. This guided experience visits three of the island’s most recognised cellar doors, combining curated tastings with panoramic island views. It offers a relaxed introduction to Waiheke’s wine culture without feeling rushed.

Travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle as your local guide shares insights into the island’s history, growing conditions and community. Scenic drives pass beaches, olive groves and rolling hills between vineyard stops. A dedicated lunch break at Batch Winery provides time to unwind and enjoy island hospitality at your own pace.
