Waiheke Island Wine Tour

About

Fullers run a guided day on Waiheke that takes the logistics off you entirely. The Taste of Waiheke leaves on the ten o'clock ferry, is met at Matiatia by a private coach, and runs through four stops before the five o'clock return. Olive oil tasting at Allpress, a two course lunch with a glass of wine at Batch Winery, then tastings at Casita Miro and Mudbrick. Ferry and coach are both included, which is the whole point, since Waiheke's wineries are spread across a hilly island and the alternative is taxis. Allow at least eight hours door to door. It is an adults' tour, with sixteen and seventeen year olds admitted with a parent. You will be sharing the coach with other people. There is also a self-guided version if you would rather pick one venue and take the hop-on bus.
