Waiheke Island & Winery

Experience the best-selling, all-inclusive culinary journey featuring four iconic vineyards and artisanal producers on Waiheke Island. This tour promises an exceptional day of tasting, learning, and enjoying some of the finest wines and artisanal products the island has to offer.

Your journey begins at Allpress Olive Groves. Thanks to Waiheke Island's unique microclimate, volcanic soils, and coastal location, the island offers ideal conditions for growing olives. During your visit, you will sample a selection of premium olive oils while learning about the different varietals, production methods, and the distinctive characteristics that make Waiheke olive oil so special.

The tour then continues to Batch Winery, the highest vineyard on Waiheke Island, known for its spectacular panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf. Here you will enjoy a seasonal two-course lunch served in their modern dining space, accompanied by a glass of wine that perfectly complements the flavors of the meal and the surrounding landscape.

Next, visit Cable Bay Vineyards, located on Waiheke Island's picturesque west coast. With impressive views back toward Auckland, this winery offers a sophisticated tasting experience featuring premium wines crafted from grapes grown both on Waiheke Island and in Marlborough.

Your final stop is Mudbrick Vineyard, a family-run winery that has become one of Waiheke Island's most iconic destinations. Set among beautiful gardens with sweeping views of the Hauraki Gulf, you will enjoy a guided cellar door tasting while learning more about Mudbrick's locally grown varietals and winemaking philosophy.

Throughout the day, you will enjoy a thoughtfully selected combination of wine tastings, olive oil tastings, and a delicious two course lunch. This tour is perfect for wine lovers and visitors seeking a relaxing day exploring Waiheke Island's exceptional food, wine, and landscapes.
