How much is a wine tour on Waiheke Island?

Our private wine tours start from NZ$469 per person for the 5-hour West-End Icons Tour, NZ$549 for the 6-hour Epic Far-End Tour and NZ$599 for the full-day Ultimate Freedom Tour, for groups of three or four. For two guests, they're NZ$499, NZ$599 and NZ$699 per person. All prices include GST and booking fees; tastings, lunch and the ferry are extra.

Are tastings included?

Not in the tour price, so you only pay for those tasting. You can add Estate or Reserve tasting bundles when you book, or pay as you go at each cellar door, giving you freedom to choose what you would like to experience at each location.

Which Waiheke wineries should we visit?

It depends on what you like to drink and how much time you have. Tell us your favourite styles and we'll suggest the right mix, from big-view classics like Mudbrick and Cable Bay to small cellar doors at the far end.

Is a private wine tour better than a group tour?

On a private tour it's just your group, so the day runs at your pace: longer where you're enjoying yourself, and skipping anything you're not. Your guide and 4WD are yours for the whole tour, so there's never another group to hurry off to.

Can non-drinkers come on a wine tour?

Yes. Tastings are added per person or paid as you go, and there's plenty for non-drinkers: olive oil and honey at Allpress, beaches, lookouts and lunch with a view.

Do we need to book the ferry ourselves?

Yes. The ferry from downtown Auckland takes 40–45 minutes, and we meet you at Matiatia Wharf. We'll suggest which sailing to catch when we confirm your day.
