Our day on Waiheke with Wayne as our guide was more than just a tour, it is a day we'll remember for a long time. Wayne's knowledge of the history, geography, vineyards, winemakers and maori legends of Waiheke is amazing and so interesting. We were the only 2 on the tour and went to one large and two smaller vineyards... More

I had so much fun on this wine tour, the tour guide knew everything and anything you wanted to know about Waiheke and had planned a great set of tastings and tours at various wineries. Because the group size is so small you get to meet the wine makers and see some of the behind the scenes work at the... More

Hi Jane Thanks very much for your comprehensive review. We really do appreciate that after the day, making comments is not necessarily top of mind, particularly when you are "on the road". Wayne really enjoyed meeting you and showing you round "our place"! Kind regards Jean (and Wayne!) More

The wine tour with Wayne was one of my favorite days spent in New Zealand! The choices of wineries along with the small group of 7 and lunch made for a great day. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants a fabulous and fun day on Waiheke Island! More

We spent a very enjoyable day with Wayne touring Waiheke Island. Because of the bad weather, the others postponed their tour and we had Wayne all to ourselves. He was very informative about the Maori and European history regarding the island. The wineries we visited had great wine and we enjoyed visiting them all. Our only disappointment was the restaurant... More

The Waikeke Island Wine Tour w/Wayne was incredibly fun. Wayne lives and knows all the winemakers so you get a very personalized experience. Not to mention that the wines were FANTASTIC too. We're from Oregon Wine country so are pretty particular about our wine. We must say that we LOVE NZ wines and wish we could get more here. Loved... More

Took one of the standard wine trips and covered several vineyards. A nice mixed group included one seriously good wine buff and several that were not far behind so we got the benefit of a lot of information from the participants as well as the guides. Mudbrick Vineyard has a location to die for with breathtaking views and beautiful buildings... More
