Review of Waiheke Island wine tour from Auckland, with ferry tips, winery stops, tastings, guides, costs, and practical advice.
“Driver/guide (Debbie) was very good. I was disappointed that the company sent an itinerary that they did not follow: we expected the lunch stop to be at the END of the day and instead it was after the very first winery visit, well before we were hungry.

Would recommend as safe and convenient way to visit multiple vineyards.”
