No whining about this wonderful private wine tour. Too good to be true. - Debbie Harris made sure our tour was wonderful in every way possible. She was highly informative, friendly, and well versed in the local lore of the boutique wineries we visited. She also was knowledgeable about the wines and their various qualities, histories, and the makers. Overall, a thoroughly relaxing day, made even better by her excellent driving on some very picturesque but windy, narrow country lanes. Her beautiful personality was filled with an open heart and grateful nature making us feel blessed and comfortable with her and our spiritual connection.

Bountiful, delicious and educational - It was our honeymoon and we had the best of guides to help navigate all the wines. The wine was delicious and we were able to catch our flight in the evening. Unfortunately we forgot our guides name can you please let us know who it was. Parisian, very knowledgeable and a great guide!

Wine Island, yes please! - Deb Harris is a lovely guide. We visited a number of beautiful wineries and a wonderful lunch at Tantulus vineyard. Deb was engaging and approachable for questions, etc. We loved the Velvet wine at Mudbrick Vineyards the best.

Flexibility on a private tour - A great day with our private tour guide Janis. A comfortable drive throughout the Island with commentary about the history, culture, nature and, of course, wine. Private tastings at top wineries but the real benefit was Janis’ flexibility in adjusting our tour on the fly according to our tastes and preferences. An unscheduled visit to a private art gallery was the highlight.

Amazing!!! - Amazing experience w/ a family owned business. Our guide Steve truly cared and ensured we had a great time at each winery. He was pleasant to speak with and was all around a good person. Would absolutely recommend you book this experience

Great Private Tour - Our group of 6 had a two day private tour with Jo as our guide and she was very knowledgeable and easy to be around. On our arrival from our long flight she took us hiking to Stony Batter and gave us some history of the area. Then drove us back to town for a great lunch stop. Good way to get rid of our jet lag On day 2 we went to the Stonyridge Vineyard and had a great tasting then to Tantalus estate for another. Ended with a huge lunch at the Mudbrick winery. I would highly recommend this company and Jo.

Essence of Waiheke - Not only was the tour incredible and a must see but the lunch and wine were to die for too. most importantly the fabulous tour wouldn’t be complete without an amazing tour guide neither . Michael from Ananda was the best tour guide who also made our trip the amazing experience it was. I am a travel agent from Australia and would highly recommend this tour company and guide. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
