Description

Our most popular tour, you will visit three vineyards each offering a range of gourmet tastes to accompany their wines. Treats may include oysters straight from Te Matuku Bay, Waiheke olive oil and Waiheke honey.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious lunch, served family-style at the third vineyard overlooking the vines (dietaries catered for). From here you will have time to explore Oneroa Village where you can walk along Oneroa Beach, visit some of the local shops including Island Gelato, The Waiheke Wine Centre and the Island Grocer or choose to sit in a café/bar overlooking the bay before being returned to your accommodation or the ferry back to Auckland. 

Due to seasonal availability, Te Matuku oysters may not be available but they will be substituted with another gourmet treat.
