Nooroa was the best guide you could ask for. Hilarious, knowledgable and all-around wonderful local who really took the time to show us around the island and let us soak in the beauty of Waiheke. Each winery we stopped at had gorgeous views of the water and the city of Auckland across the way. The staff were friendly, full of information and we did not feel pressured to purchase bottles after the tasting. A wonderful half-day tour.
This Waiheke tour took me to four of the island’s most celebrated wineries, as well as to the stunningly beautiful deserted beach at Onetangi. The wine tastings were presented by knowledgeable guides, with a good selection of different grape varietals and wine styles, including an excellent self-bought lunch at Batch winery. The entire package was a total delight, my only minor gripe being that it would be nice to include the ferry ticket as an option for those not staying on the island.
We did the wine tour with a group of friends, and all had an amazing time.
Caleb did a great job! The wineries we went to were very nice. Lunch was delicious. And the scenery was great.
The tour guide and the wine makers were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time on Waiheke island!
Thank you, Aleks, we enjoyed having you come on our tour and really hope to see you again, real soon Sharon ;)
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.
