Food and Wine
Waiheke is obviously well known for its wineries. Because holdings are so small the only way they can survive is to make the best wine they can, so their focus is on quality, not volume production.
Talk to us about your favourite styles of wine and we'll guide you as best we can to the vineyards that cater to your preferences. We'll tell you about the wineries, our favourites, why, what all are best at (we think!). Once we've discussed your preferences ask us for our thoughts on wine tour options too. Then relax and enjoy a day of wine-tasting and delicious food.
