Tour Overview

Step into the world of Waiheke Island's celebrated wineries with a tour that promises not only a taste of the region's finest wines but also an in-depth look at the local viticulture. Your journey begins at Cable Bay Vineyard, where you'll sample a selection of wines that showcase the unique terroir of Waiheke Island and Marlborough. This initial tasting sets the stage for a day of sensory indulgence and scenic beauty.

From Cable Bay, the tour meanders through the quaint Oneroa Village and past the sweeping sands of Oneroa Beach. Each village, including Surfdale and Ostend, paints a vivid picture of island life, framed by the lush landscapes of Onetangi's Golden Mile.

Lunch is a highlight, served at a beloved local restaurant along the shores of Onetangi Beach. Here, you can relax to the sound of the waves and enjoy a meal that complements the local wine perfectly. The setting is serene, an ideal backdrop to both unwind and engage with the flavors of the island.

The afternoon is dedicated to further exploration of Waiheke’s viniculture with stops at Stonyridge Vineyards, nestled among olive trees and colorful vine rows that evoke the ambiance of southern France, or alternatively, Postage Stamp Wines. Each location provides a distinct tasting experience, adding layers to your understanding of the area's wine production.

The tour concludes with a visit to Mudbrick Vineyard, where you can drink in the panoramic sea views and reflect on a day well spent. Here, the connection between land, vine, and sea is palpable, rounding out a tour that not only delights the palate but also deepens your appreciation for Waiheke's winemaking heritage.
