Nick was our guide and was so kind and helpful. Our group was small and that was definitely a plus for the experience. Nick’s intimate knowledge of Waiheke and the wine industry was such a huge factor in our great enjoyment of the tour. Definitely recommend Nick and Ananda.

We were met by Craig on the island. Vehicle was comfortable and he easily navigated the island. 3 vineyards were all good. Staff at the vineyards were knowledgeable and answered questions. Lunch was exceptional! Amanda tours does a marvelous job!

The wineries Deb picked were all great, unique with amazing wine. We had a great couple with us and we ended up becoming friends. The lunch was amazing and made for a great day. Top notch tour. I highly recommend.

Great first winery with good experience, wine and views. Second winery very busy and person assigned to our group so busy with tables took away from tasting. Third winery not well appointed and should have been swapped.

Michael was a great guide, full of information, friendly. Great wines and fantastic lunch. Mudbrick was the best and good to start with.
Laura_s, Mar 2024
Great tour on Waiheke Island. Tour guide excellent and full of knowledge on the area and the wines.
1st stop, beautiful location, but beaten by 2nd and 3rd wineries by the guides inputs and wine tasting information and presentation.
Definitely recommend the tour on this wonderful island
