Nice start to our NZ adventure. Great to book the morning of your arrival to get acclimated.
Thanks, Pete Thrilled that you had a great day with us and we always go to smile and accommodate people at late notice where we can so thank you for acknowledging that
The tour started at 3 PM, which was perfect for us just getting off the plane at 11 AM. Ardriani was our tour guide and she was a gem. She showed us around the entire island and obviously took us to the scheduled vineyards. Sue to the time of the year, we did not actually catch the sunset during our dinner at Mudbrick (great food and wine), but we did catch it on our ferry ride back. A nice break from Auckland.
Thanks Shahin Appreciate your kind words so glad you enjoyed your sunset Tour with us on Waiheke Mudbrick is superb isn't it for food and wine? Not to mention the ambience of this amazing Vineyard
Had a great time and it ended up being a private tour as the others dropped out. Adriana looked after us very well and our clear favourite was Postage stamp vineyard. Sharon was super friendly and the wines were beautiful.
thanks Lucinda, so glad you enjoyed your day with Ardriani we visit only the best vineyards and its so great ot getyou positve feedback so thankyou
This was a fantastic way to see the island by visiting three wineries and going the scenic route along the way! Sue was an excellent tour guide. We signed up for this because of the small number allowed on the tour, and as it turned out it ended up only being the two of us making it a personal tour! Sue was very knowledgeable about the island. We went to Batch Winery, Postage Stamp Winery and finished at Mudbrick Winery for dinner. Everything was beyond excellent from all of the different wines to the dinner at the Archive Bistro at Mudbrick! We wouldn’t hesitate recommending this tour to anyone!
thanks payton , We specialize in small group tours and what better way to do than seeing the sun go down while enjoying great wine and food Thanks for a great review
The scenery? Unreal. The wineries? Incredible. The vibes? Immaculate. And our tour guide Sue? An absolute legend. From the moment she picked us up from the ferry, she had us laughing, sharing amazing stories about Waiheke’s history, and feeling like we were on a day out with a friend (who also happens to know all the best wine spots). You get to taste incredible wines at stunning wineries, soak in the most beautiful views, and enjoy an atmosphere that is pure magic. At one point I genuinely considered cancelling all my plans and staying there forever. Seriously! if you’re even thinking about booking, just do it. Stop scrolling, lock it in, and thank yourself later. This is your sign to book now… you will not regret it!
Wow , thank you so much, guys That's an amazing review and so glad you loved our little piece of paradise We take a lot of pride in showcasing Waiheke to our special guests and I thank you for joining us on this day We hope to see you again, thanks again for those wonderful kind words
It was wonderful. Good wine. Beautiful views. Jo Jo was a great guide. Very friendly and super informative.
Thank you, Becky. Glad you enjoyed your sunset tour with Jojo Or Brain way to spend the end of the day isn't it Sipping wine in beautiful locations watching the Sun go down This is my favourite Tour So glad you enjoyed it
Susan our guide was very well versed in Wines and the Waiheke Island area - For us 3.5 hours and 2 wineries plus a delicious dinner with majestic views was perfect for the amount of time we wanted to spend
Thanks so much for a great review and it is much appreciated It's a lovely tour, our sunset and a perfect way to end your day Thanks again
Suzanne was an exceptional tour guide. Bringing us to three lovely wineries and sharing Waiheke history along the way. Would definitely recommend!
Thanks, Kelly That's great that you had a brilliant day with us and we love showcasing our lovely island to you along with our exceptional wineries Thanks again
Jojo our guide was great. Stated itinerary listed three vineyards for tasting — Batch, Stony Ridge and Mudbrick. We only got two tastings — Batch and Postage Stamp. Batch was great, Postage Stamp was inferior wines. While we were dropped off at Mudbrick for dinner, there was no wine tasting there. Disappointing to pay for 3 tastings but only get two, and an inferior tasting was substituted in. We were expecting more. Jojo our guide was nice, personable and didn’t have control of the schedule. I wouldn’t go again unless I had them confirm to me in advance exactly what we were going to get. I assumed, wrongly, that the itinerary given at registration would be honored.
Hi Jacqueline Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. During this busy time of year, the vineyards we visit can occasionally change due to availability. The only change on your tour was Stonyridge, as they were unable to provide a sommelier for a tasting for two people at that time. We take many guests to Postage Stamp, and they usually really enjoy the wines, in fact, Postage Stamp have got several gold medals for wine so we’re surprised and sorry to hear that it didn’t meet your expectations. Regarding Mudbrick, their cellar door closes at 5 pm, and we arrived at 5 pm. While a formal tasting wasn’t possible, you were offered a glass of red or white wine of your choice to enjoy on the patio while taking in the stunning views before dinner. We also sent a follow-up email requesting feedback, and we would have been happy to address your concerns personally. We appreciate your comments and will continue to work on improving the experience for our guests.
Susan was absolutely lovely and wonderful in sharing her knowledge as a sommelier and as a resident of Waiheke Island. She planned a great itinerary which included The Batch, The Postage Stamp and Mudbrick Vineyard. She obviously had great working relationships with the winery employees and made sure we saw all the beautiful sites at each location and had enough time to enjoy the wine tastings and dinner at Mudbrick. She was wonderful to chat with and just a lovely person. We were so glad to get her insights into the wine, life in New Zealand and Waiheke Island, and just to learn from all the amazing things she’s done.
Thanks, Jessie This wonderful review is very much appreciated We really do go the extra mile to make sure this day is a memorable one for you all. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again
