Travel the world through wine without leaving Waiheke Island.

Let Waiheke Wine Tours take care of the driving while you sit back, relax and enjoy some of the island's most iconic wineries, spectacular views and world-class wine tastings.

Begin your day at Cable Bay Vineyards, where Mediterranean flavours and stunning sea views evoke the Greek Islands. Continue to Batch Winery, Waiheke's highest vineyard, for a leisurely lunch overlooking the Hauraki Gulf. In the afternoon, discover the olive groves and French countryside atmosphere of Stonyridge Vineyard before finishing with a tasting at Mudbrick, one of Waiheke's most iconic destinations.

Not quite ready for your Around the World adventure to end? Skip the 4pm ferry and make one final stop in Argentina with dinner at Vino Vino. Enjoy a glass of Malbec, share a platter with friends and watch the world go by from the waterfront before heading home.
