Private Essence Of Waiheke Wine Tour

This was an amazing wine tour on Waikiki Island. Jo was our tour guide and she made the trip entertaining and delightful! We tour four wineries and had an amazing, elegant lunch. All the wineries were unlike any in the US. Would definitely recommend this tour. The ferry ride is also included. Make sure you make note of that; I forgot and bought tickets.

Awesome experience. Beautiful island paradise. Incredible wines and wineries and olive oil. Kennedy Point winery was special. Wine and lunch/tapas at Casita Miro was beyond words Olive tasting at Allpress was enlightening and delicious. Our guide Helen was so knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. Must do when in Auckland And the ferry ride was stunning

Greg took us in this tour of Waiheke Island and 3 wineries. A really wonderful day. Great guiding lovely wineries and terrific wine. We had such a good time. Definitely worth doing

We had a wonderful day despite a very wet and windy day. Nick our local guide was a catamaran sailor, and recent graduate of the Master of Wine Science at the University. He was charming and filled with local knowledge as we visited three vineyards for wine tasting. We also had a delicious lunch with local fresh fish and delicious wine.He also helped me score some first press olive oil which was delivered so timely to our ferry.

Lovely tour! Jenny, the owner, went out of her way to personalize our tour. Due to some unfortunate circumstances we were late for our tour. Jenny made sure that we enjoyed as full a tour as possible. She was delightful and cannot recommend this tour company enough

Our trip was amazing. Debbie was knowledgeable about the island, the history of winemaking and living on the island. Her relationships with each winery optimized our experience with efficiency with the tastings. The uniqueness of each winery added to the overall experience. Highly recommend!

Michael, our driver from Ananda Tours, was fun, entertaining and informative. He picked us up at the ferry and drove us to tastings at four wineries. We especially Liked Mudbric.

Debbie Harris made sure our tour was wonderful in every way possible. She was highly informative, friendly, and well versed in the local lore of the boutique wineries we visited. She also was knowledgeable about the wines and their various qualities, histories, and the makers. Overall, a thoroughly relaxing day, made even better by her excellent driving on some very picturesque but windy, narrow country lanes. Her beautiful personality was filled with an open heart and grateful nature making us feel blessed and comfortable with her and our spiritual connection.

It was our honeymoon and we had the best of guides to help navigate all the wines. The wine was delicious and we were able to catch our flight in the evening. Unfortunately we forgot our guides name can you please let us know who it was. Parisian, very knowledgeable and a great guide!

Jo was a fabulous guide, very informative. 👍 Pick up at wharf 👍 Comfortable vehicle 👍 Great wineries with lovely food and wine 👍 Great day, can highly recommend. 👍

Deb Harris is a lovely guide. We visited a number of beautiful wineries and a wonderful lunch at Tantulus vineyard. Deb was engaging and approachable for questions, etc. We loved the Velvet wine at Mudbrick Vineyards the best.

A great day with our private tour guide Janis. A comfortable drive throughout the Island with commentary about the history, culture, nature and, of course, wine. Private tastings at top wineries but the real benefit was Janis’ flexibility in adjusting our tour on the fly according to our tastes and preferences. An unscheduled visit to a private art gallery was the highlight.

Amazing experience w/ a family owned business. Our guide Steve truly cared and ensured we had a great time at each winery. He was pleasant to speak with and was all around a good person. Would absolutely recommend you book this experience

Our group of 6 had a two day private tour with Jo as our guide and she was very knowledgeable and easy to be around. On our arrival from our long flight she took us hiking to Stony Batter and gave us some history of the area. Then drove us back to town for a great lunch stop. Good way to get rid of our jet lag On day 2 we went to the Stonyridge Vineyard and had a great tasting then to Tantalus estate for another. Ended with a huge lunch at the Mudbrick winery. I would highly recommend this company and Jo.

Not only was the tour incredible and a must see but the lunch and wine were to die for too. most importantly the fabulous tour wouldn’t be complete without an amazing tour guide neither . Michael from Ananda was the best tour guide who also made our trip the amazing experience it was. I am a travel agent from Australia and would highly recommend this tour company and guide. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Great experience and guide! The tour was very smooth, no rush in the stops. Wineries were very welcoming with us. I had a really good time!

We had a fantastic private tour for six of us with Michael. He was a delight and his personality fit with our group so well. His knowledge of the island was great and he was super accommodating to requests. We had a lovely relaxed day. Definitely recommend!

Such an amazing tour! Our tour guide Bill was amazing, very knowledgeable about the island (and wine of course), and a great sense of humour!! Would highly recommend!!
