Olive oil, wine and gin tastings with stories of Waiheke history and culture
We had an amazing time touring the island with Gabrielle. She spends a goodly amount of time on the island so she knows it well - especially back roads and points of interest with extra island character. She told us captivating stories about the history, people and the culture . She took great care of us. We visited an olive oil maker and had tastings of some excellent oils, two wineries and a gin distillery. I especially enjoyed the gin tastings because I'd never been to one - plus it had a fabulous view over a bay. We especially enjoyed spending time with Gabrielle as she is friendly and has a great sense of humor.

Waiheke luxury wine and olive oil outing
I was accompanying friends who had recently been married and were celebrating their honeymoon. Keen to fill their newly built cellar we embarked on exploring the tantalizing vineyards of Waiheke. Stopping at mudbrick, obsidian and te motu each experience was very different which was so good. Lunch at batch great. Perfect time to meet the ferry made for a very relaxed day. Time spent at each was perfect.

Wonderful Day with a Great Guide!
Geoff picked us up at the ferry and we spent the most wonderful day visiting wineries. We were so comfortable in his immaculate Mercedes van. Geoff was very knowledgeable about the vineyards, the wine makers and history of this beautiful Island. It is a must if you are visiting Auckland.
