Awesome tour, great Wineries and local knowledge - The half day tour with Michael was awesome, he drove us around the island giving an interesting commentary and stopping off at scenic lookouts as time allowed. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We visited 3 lovely wineries where we did wine tastings and had a lunch platter and glass of wine at Stony Ridge. I would highly recommend this tour :)

Wine, Views, Fiona! - Fiona was thr BEST guide. We started promotly on time and quickly made our way to the first location. Fiona was very knowledgeable and proud of the island so we learned alot along the way. The second stop has wonderful food and scenery. The final stop had great views and Bob who had all the jokes and background about winemaking on the island. Although the second stop is a nice long period of time, the first and third stops were quick stops. Would have been nice to spending alittle more time and possibly a glass of your favorite from the tasting. But this is a very small piece of scheduling feedback. Overall we loved the tour!

Great tour! Fun, informative and was a great half day spent! - This was a great tour to do! I had limited time in Auckland so a half day tour was great.
Everything was well organised after booking. I received my ferry ticket by email with clear instructions where to board. Those on the tour were collected by the driver when we reached Waiheke Island. All very friendly and efficient.
Our driver provided a great amount of details regarding Waiheke Island, life there, history and plenty of detail on each of the vineyards we visited, which were Batch l, Goldie Estate and Mudbrick.
The wine tasting was professional, fun and informative. I had the good fortune to be with a great group of people the day we did it, making it even more fun.
We had a great lunch at the Goldie Estate.
This tour is definitely worth doing and I would recommend to anyone who wants a bit of a taste of the vineyards of Waiheke Island.

Wine and lunch - Simon was awesome! The wine tasting was very good. Yet, it could have been much better if the Batch Winery provided better customer service and a more comfortable/suitable tasting environment.
