What you can expect

  • Taste & Graze – Waiheke Island

    Spend the day experiencing the flavours, scenery and laid-back lifestyle of Waiheke Island on Taste & Graze, a premium small-group tour limited to just 10 guests.

    Begin with a scenic ferry journey from city centre Auckland across the Hauraki Gulf. On arrival at Matiatia, your local guide will welcome you and introduce you to the island, sharing local stories, cultural insights and favourite places along the way.

    Your first stop is iconic Mudbrick Vineyard. Set amongst beautiful vines and Mediterranean-style gardens, enjoy a hosted premium wine tasting at the rustic cellar door while taking in spectacular views across the Hauraki Gulf towards Auckland.

    Next, head to The Heke, Waiheke’s acclaimed craft brewery and distillery, set amongst four acres of beautiful gardens. Join a guided brewery and distillery experience and learn how their craft beer and premium whisky are made, from grain to glass. Finish with tastings of locally crafted whisky and beer.

    From there, continue to Allpress Olive Groves for a premium guided tasting of award-winning extra virgin olive oils. Learn about the olives grown on Waiheke, how they are harvested and pressed, and the flavours that make each oil unique.

    Following the tasting, sit down to a gourmet seasonal lunch at Allpress Olive Groves. Surrounded by mature olive trees and beautiful gardens, enjoy fresh local produce in a relaxed and stylish setting — a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the island’s food culture.

    At 2:00 pm, make your way to Oneroa Village, Waiheke’s charming seaside hub. Enjoy free time to browse boutique shops, galleries and local stores, pick up a few souvenirs or simply wander through the village and soak up the relaxed island atmosphere.

    With just 10 guests, Taste & Graze is a relaxed and personal way to experience Waiheke. There’s plenty of time to ask questions, enjoy the scenery and meet the passionate people behind the island’s wine, whisky, beer, olive oil and food.

    Your day finishes with a return to Matiatia Ferry Terminal for your ferry back to Auckland.

    Return ferry tickets from Auckland are included, so everything is taken care of from the moment you leave city centre Auckland.

    Travel with New Zealand’s most-reviewed wine tour company on Google, backed by thousands of five-star reviews.
