Waiheke Island Wine Tour

Since the late 1970′s Waiheke’s benign Mediterranean climate has seen the growth of a flourishing wine industry. A “small is beautiful” philosophy yields low quantities of extremely high quality fruit, which is made into international award-winning wines. The big Bordeaux-style reds of Stony Ridge, Goldwater Estate and Peninsula Estate are now appreciated by wine lovers all over the world, and more than 30 vineyards have followed in the footsteps of the original three. You can visit these and several others including Kennedy Point Vineyard, Te Whau Vineyard where you can have lunch and sample some of the owner’s 500+ classic and local vintages and Mudbrick Vineyard and Restaurant, where you can dine at one of the Island’s finest restaurants. Wine, olive oil, art, scenic and eco tours in any combination you choose.
