    Wine and fun
    Nancy_C, Apr 2024
    Lots of wine and interesting facts. Our tour guide Caleb was fun. The lunch we had at Three Seven Two was the icing on the cake!
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Thanks Nancy, I love 372, what a fabulous venue ;)
    Fun Wine Tour
    James_P, Apr 2024
    Our tour director, Noorua (sp?) was fabulous and gave us a great tour of the island and a locals insight. The wineries we visited were very nice, especially Postage Stamp Winery. The Cable Bay Winery was a beautiful location but although the wines were ok, the presentation left a lot to be desired. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much and the lunch was delicious.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Thanks, James, for the review; my favourite Chardonnay is at Cable Bay it's stunning! Glad you enjoyed the day with Nooroa.
    Relaxing Day on the Island
    Sadie_H, Apr 2024
    Great communication. Super smooth pick up. Lunch was delicious and super nice to be let out in town for a little shopping before making our way back on our own to the ferry.

    Thanks Sadie, so glad you enjoyed your day, we really enjoyed having you on tour with us ;)
    Not just another day in Paradise

    Caleb, our guide and driver, was brilliant. Lovely small group of 8 of us, all the wineries were great and lunch by the sea at Onetangi was outstanding. Fantastic day out, can’t praise highly enough. Ambiance and scenery was out of this world.

    Thomas_P, Mar 2024
    Driver did a great job. I didn't expect 20 other people on the trip, and the chosen wineries were not what I expected.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Hello Thomas, I noticed that you gave our tour a 3-star review. However, our listing clearly indicates that the tour is shared with others and it covers Cable Bay, 372, te Motu or postage stamp wines, and Stonyridge vineyards, which are all excellent. I'm curious about what you were expecting that we did not deliver. Could you please send us an email with your feedback? It would be greatly appreciated.
    Worth the trip
    John_C, Mar 2024
    Our guide was terrific. He met us when we arrived on the island. He connected all of us with intros. We went to three vineyards- had 5 tastings at each. We ate at a nice, casual place for lunch. I recommend this tour if you would like to get a tour of the island, drink some wine, and learn a bit about wine making.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Thank you John, we appreciate your kind words. Our tour guides are working hard to connect with each and every one of you and ensure that you have the best possible experience. 😀
    Best wine tour!!!

    The experience was very good. We enjoyed the lunch and the winery tours. Our driver Calib was very knowledgeable and was entertaining.

    Thanks Valerie, he is a true gem of a man!
    Enjoyed our time
    Justin_G, Feb 2024
    Our group enjoyed the tour and the efficiency of the transportation from the ferry to the venues but didn’t find it to be a fantastic value. Many of the wine tastings at each winery were for lower tier tastings whereas you’d expect a higher tier tasting for the price of the tour. The lunch at 372 was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed that. Our guide was very engaging and helped us have a great time. We still had an amazing day but think it lacks a bit in the wine department.

    Hi Justin thanks for your feedback!
    Excellent tour

    Excellent tour. Caleb was an excellent tour guide. The wineries were exceptional as was the delicious luncheon at the restaurant by the sea. I highly recommend this tour! Enjoy!

    Stonyridge was the best...
    Sandra_W, Feb 2024
    Stonyridge was the best of the three. Tastings were more like a swallow. No one in our group bought any wine from any of the wineries. Most everyone in our group was interested in tasting fuller bodied reds not white or Rose.
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Hi Sandra thanks for your feedback the great thing about a wine tour is you get to taste all sorts of different wines, and you would of tasted the Syrah at Cable Bay, and at Postage Stamp Wines you would of tasted the Summer Red there, and at Stonyridge a red wine also. This is usual. If you want a tour with just red wines you can also book a private tour with us, where you get to choose where you go and what you taste, remember you were on a shared tour, which has to cater to everyone's tastes. Thanks
    What a blast !!
    Ella_S, Feb 2024
    This was such a memorable tour, had an absolute blast with the whole group, the guide was amazing, very informative & helpful. Regarding the actual vineyards all the guides were very knowledgeable but also had a good sense of humour & were able to join in the banter. Well done all round.

    Amanda_P, Feb 2024
    This small group wine tour was absolutely perfect! Our driver, Nooroa, was sweet, funny, personable. The wine was fantastic and the food at 372 was outstanding. Highly recommend this tour!
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Thank you so much Amanda, appreciate it. Hope to see you again another time.
    When I die I want to go to Waiheke!

    Beautiful island tour, great wines and fun! Our guide No-Aroa was the best! Would do it all over again!

    Hi Paul, hopefully, you come back and see us again! We loved having you with us on tour.
    Fantastic experience
    Poovanthran_N, Jan 2024
    The lunch at the restaurant. The company of others who were in the trip. Information - getting to know some history about the wine growing in Waiheke. The guide was great and friendly.
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Thanks Poovan, great to have you along.
    Hoping for more reds
    Nancy_W, Jan 2024
    The lunch was outstanding as was our guide, Caleb. Each winery gave use 3 tastes, 2 whites, 1 red. I am not a white wine drinker. I’m used to being asked what I prefer to taste and given some options.
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Dear Nancy, I would like to express my gratitude for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. I would like to inform you that our group tour is specifically designed to provide you with an in-depth knowledge of the island and its grape varieties. During the tour, you had the opportunity to taste a combination of white, rose, and red wines, which we find people enjoy, as they then can decide for themselves what kind of wines they prefer. Thank you again for your time and effort in reviewing our tour. Have a great day!

    Our tour guide, Calib, was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable and entertaining. The vinyards were amazing and 327 food definitely lived up to its hatted status! See you again soon as

    Thank you, yes 372 is incredible! as is Caleb!
    Good quality day trip. We
    Erin_F, Dec 2023
    Zoltan was a hospitable host and sold the many virtues of Waiheke Island. It’s really beautiful. Lunch at 372 was fabulous. I’m not a wine drinker naturally so I believe all the wineries were of good quality, but I did like the Stonyridge offering the best. I would totally recommend this tour to friends who want an experience of Waiheke and only have a day to explore. Thanks!
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Thanks so much for this!
