Private Day Itinerary

Make a seamless escape from Auckland to Waiheke Island, world-renowned for its boutique vineyards and breathtaking coastal scenery. After a short ferry ride, meet your expert local guide at the terminal and settle in for a relaxed day of wine, views, and island charm.

Visit an award-winning olive oil estate, where you will tour the olive groves, taste freshly pressed olive oil, and learn about traditional harvesting techniques. You will also watch a short video on the production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, complemented by a detailed explanation of what defines its premium quality.

Your guide then takes care of the details while you enjoy three carefully selected winery visits – each offering tastings of both crisp whites and full-bodied reds, along with insights into the island’s unique terroir. Between stops, take in sweeping panoramas of rolling hills and sparkling bays, with plenty of time for photos.

Midday, pause for a leisurely winery lunch paired with stunning views before continuing your exploration of Waiheke’s vibrant wine scene. The pace is unhurried, allowing time to savour the atmosphere and chat with winemakers. After a final tasting, you will return to the ferry terminal for your scenic ride back to Auckland, refreshed and enriched by a day of world-class wine, local stories, and effortless travel.
