Auckland: Waiheke Island Scenic Tour 4 Vineyards, Local Guides
Description
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

The tour guide and the wine makers were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time on Waiheke island!
Excellent opportunity to see several wineries! Debbie was very knowledgeable and shared her personal experiences
Thank you Karey, and it was so lovely to have you travel with us today ;0)
They should definitely do it. I do need to say Rob was no problem on Saturday it was one woman who didn't like that he was doing his job and the rest of us were in my opinion right behind him. He was trying to find out why we had an extra person (a free loader) and what was going on - and quite rightly so.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback, we really appreciate it. As with any group environment, sometimes situations can arise on the day that guests may experience differently, however our priority is always making sure the tour runs smoothly and everyone has a great experience. We’re very grateful you could see the bigger picture and still enjoyed your time exploring Waiheke with us 🍷🌿 Hope to welcome you back again soon.
Fantastic Experience! Wonderful wineries and stunning scenery. Our driver, Caleb was friendly and fun. Really enjoyed the day !
Thank you 🙏 for the kind review I am very grateful 😇
Great way to see the island and get a taste of wines from there. Highly recommend and our driver Caleb was very knowledgeable.
Thanks Lance glad you enjoyed your day with our Caleb he really is a great Tour Guide 😇
We had a lot of fun! The island is beautiful, wine is great, and the people are lovely. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! 🍷✨ Waiheke really is a special little island, and we’re so glad you had such a fun day with us. Beautiful scenery, great wine, and good people — that’s exactly what we love sharing with our guests every single day. Thanks again for choosing Waiheke Wine Tours and for the recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to see you back on the island again soon! 🌊☀️
The wineries were fantastic and there was more than enough time between stops and the not to feel rushed .
Thanks, Bruce, that's so kind of you, hope we see you again real soon ;)
The wineries were good and the only thing that I can complain about it is that the sommeliers do not know the Mexican wines, and we received a rude comment from Stony Ridge Winery. The driver of our Tour was really helpful and in love with his job, thank you!, but I would ask to skip this winery Stony Ridge Winery and maybe pick another from the wine tour.
Hello I Have contacted Viator regarding this review, as it appears you may have accidentally reviewed the wrong tour company. Unfortunately, you did not travel with Waiheke Wine Tours, so this review does not relate to our experience. Would you mind kindly placing the review on the correct tour operator’s listing instead, as it’s unfair for our business to receive feedback for a tour we did not operate. Thank you very much for your understanding.
Excellent tour. Caleb is a first rate guide and did a great job. The lunch at Batch Winery was unparalleled, including food, service, and view.
What a fantastic review — thank you. We’re so pleased you had such a great day out with Caleb. He brings a huge amount of energy, local knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm to every tour, so it’s wonderful to hear that stood out during your experience. And yes… Batch Winery really does deliver one of those “wow” moments on Waiheke. Incredible food, stunning views across the Hauraki Gulf, and relaxed island hospitality all in one place. Thank you again for travelling with Waiheke Wine Tours Ltd. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such lovely feedback and hope to see you back on Waiheke Island again someday soon.
We had an amazing time! Our tour guide, Caleb, was wonderful, inviting, and met us at the Ferry to ensure we could find the bus. Each winery provided a unique tasting experience, creating a positive, varied experience. Overall, it was a great day, and I would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear you had such an amazing day out with Caleb. He genuinely loves looking after guests and making sure everyone feels welcomed from the moment they step off the ferry, so he’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. One of the things we really pride ourselves on is creating a wine tour where each vineyard feels different and special in its own way, so it’s fantastic to hear you enjoyed the variety of tasting experiences throughout the day. Thank you again for choosing Waiheke Wine Tours Ltd and for taking the time to recommend us. We hope to see you back on beautiful Waiheke Island again one day soon 🍷🌊✨
