Great day with Cami

This was a great day, Cami was wonderful. We actually arrived early and Cami found us and drove us up to village while we waited for others to arrive. We really enjoyed the wineries we went to, especially Casita Miro. Cami gave us all the information we needed, felt very safe with her driving.

Ok wine adventure

2 of 3 wineries were average. One was exceptional (Casita Miro…Spanish theme). This based on atmosphere and wine tasting. Excellent diverse group made it fun. We’ve been on better tours in Napa.

Operator response

Hi Tim, sorry to hear the vineyards were not what you were expecting. I hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable. Thanks again, TWTC Team

A perfect day on Waiheke- sips, sun and sea!

This is an amazing day visiting the best wineries on the Island with an expert guide! We were so lucky to have Dean as our leader because his knowledge as a local winemaker was so excellent.
