★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 934 reviews · 6 hours · from $110Our pick

Take the 35-minute ferry from Auckland to Waiheke, then visit four or more wineries with a local guide such as David, Justin, Luca, or Sherrie. Tastings are included, while lunch and the ferry cost extra. Expect beautiful views, a relaxed van ride, and a small group of no more than 10 people.

“Such an awesome day on the island! We actually had a guide that’s not regularly with the company since there was a last minute emergency (appreciate the company hunting someone else down for us instead of cancelling!!) and she was amazing! She had so many interesting facts and experiences to share about Waiheke and the other islands around Auckland, as well as just New Zealand in general. All of the wineries we went to were lovely and the place we went to for lunch had great food as well.”

On late arrival to the tour, Craig did so much to make us feel at ease and part of the group even though we were late. Thank you, you were both amazing and the tour itself is full of great samples of food and wine.
