About the activity

Waiheke's most booked wine tour. Four vineyards, sit-down tastings, and local guides who know every winemaker on the island. This is the day out on Waiheke everyone's talking about. Your guide's a local. They live here. They know the winemakers, they know which table to grab, and they know the little stories behind the island and the people who live here. The lunch stop is Batch Winery — the highest point on the island — with the most stunning views, food, and wines, of course. Sit down with something delicious, a glass of something delicious, and just take in the views stretching out over the water and meet the other awesome people on the tour. After lunch, more wine tastings at Stonyridge, then the grand finale — Mudbrick Vineyard. The most iconic vineyard on Waiheke. A final glass with the Hauraki Gulf sparkling below you. After that, it's back to the ferry — or we'll drop you somewhere on the island to keep enjoying your day. The best day out on Waiheke Island. Trust us

Great tour with an amazing tour guide
whayman86, October 2026
A great way to see Waiheke Island and taste great wines at some beautiful vineyards. Pick up/meeting was seamless and the tour bus the most comfortable and spacious I saw on the roads or also visiting the vineyards. Nooroa our tour guide made the day super special! After 36yrs on the island he showed us all things Waiheke and shared his knowledge in between wineries. He was very entertaining and made the experience personal while also connecting us all as a group. Definitely recommend!
Response from the operator · waihekewinetoursltd
What a lovely review, thank you! Nooroa has so much to share about Waiheke, and we love how he brings everyone together for a few laughs along the way. He’ll be chuffed to read this, and I’m pleased you enjoyed our comfy bus too 😉 You’ve left me wondering what we needed to do for that fifth star—perhaps you could email me ;) Sharon

A great tour with a knowledgeable and bubby tour guide. It went at a good pace whilst still allowing us to savour the wines and enjoy the scenery. The lunch was good and I took away a fine memory of this event.
Response from the operator · waihekewinetoursltd
Love this, thank you! Good wine, beautiful scenery and a bubbly guide—sounds like our kind of day 😉 So pleased you enjoyed the pace too; you can’t rush a good wine! Thanks for spending the day with us, and hopefully we’ll see you again.

An excellent day out
Vidic15, October 2026
Debbie is an excellent guide, informative and entertaining. The wineries chosen were excellent, especially Batch for lunch and ending with the best wines at Mudbrick. Waiheke Island itself is stunning.
Response from the operator · waihekewinetoursltd
Debbie will love reading this, thank you! She has so many great stories to share and always brings a bit of fun to the day 😉 Lunch at Batch and finishing with Mudbrick’s wines is a pretty lovely way to enjoy our beautiful island. Thanks for joining us!
★★★★★Viator review
An excellent wine tour.
Simon_O, October 2026
Debbie was a fantastic driver and guide, entertaining and informative. The wineries are all excellent, but the standout has to be Mudbrick. All the wines tasted there from the Rose, Syrah, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay were fantastic and easy to drink.
Response from the operator · waihekewinetoursltd
Sounds like Mudbrick won you over! Those wines are pretty hard to resist 😉 Thanks for the lovely words about Debbie too—she’ll be chuffed to hear she helped make your day. So glad you joined us!
